1. Leave an USB device plugged in or maybe this could help: https://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-213420.html
or you can turn down the brightness with the F1 key.
2. The MacBook and MacBook Pro forum have some threads about this, and there is a guide somewhere: http://guides.macrumors.com/
Also MRoogle might answer your question.

I recently bought a MBP 13" 2.53
1. How can I keep Transmission (torrent client) running when I close the laptop?
2. Are there any must have apps or something I (as in all Mac users) should know?
Thanks guys!
Congrats on the purchase, I'm sure you'll love the switch.
1. No. Well, not unless you have a peripheral which will wake the computer after it has slept due to lid closure. Also, my personal experience would make me use utorrent over Transmission.
2. It depends on your needs, there's no need having apps you'll never use.

I only have an answer for 2: Have fun with your Mac!!
My suggestion is to back up your data
You can use Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) or SuperDuper (SD)
Whatever you choose, have a backup strategy
I use both Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner
As far as software is concerned... Links to Software Recommendation Threads and List of Mac Software in the Guides

You could download InsomniaX to keep the computer from sleeping when you shut it. And the best app that I could recommend would be Quicksilver. Its an app launcher and much more that you use with hotkeys. Its awesome and I use it everyday.
