Your first step should be to download launcherpro from the market...it is much more customizable than the stock launcher...

all those are in the development section or the themes and apps section. it is not as simple as just installing an app and making a change. the evo icon dock bar (i assume you mean HTC sense) is typically done through launcher pro through the use of custom icons and dock background.

for the slide to unlock, you need to read the instructions on how to do that. there are entire threads dedicated to it, so i suggest you read

Well, the best place to look for icons and such would be in the main forums, Android, Android Themes. Just find the icons/dock backgrounds you like and make a folder on your SDcard and copy them to that. Then launcher pro lets you change icons and dock backgrounds pretty easily.
As for full themes, look in the Captivate / Captivate Themes and Apps section. There are a couple Metamorph themes right now, which will require you to download metamorph from the market. Also, in the captivate section check the post your homescreens thread and ask questions if you see a screen you like.

Good luck.
