So what is the point of the distance markers along the side?
In a scrum, they have to try and force the team with the ball to touch it to the ground right? How many times do they do this before it's overturn and the other team gets the ball?

There aren't any downs. It's like soccer, it is continuos. In fact, rugby and soccer used to be the same (in England). There was a disagreement between clubs about using hands and from that on, rugby and soccer became two different sports.
A field goal is only worth 3 points. A try is 5 points with an attempt of conversion which give you an additional 2 points. Conversion is the same as an extra point in NFL football.
A penalty can also be taken, which can give a team 3 points. For a field goal to be scored, the ball must strike the ground before being kicked.
