The JR Kiosk you mention, this sounds like an automated machine, which I guess takes yen. Any rough I dea what this train journey costs and also does the machine give change at all? Not sure yet what demonination yen we will have with us.
Should the machine be too complicated for me, is there a booth with a person in it who I can talk to in English?
The train station at Shinn-Osaka, I'm guessing it's obvious where to go for the bullet train?

You can use a machine or use a booth. Shinkansen station employees are used to dealing with foreigners, and most can speak English. The machines also have an English option, and all bills will get change. The money/machine technology is decades ahead of the US.
