You can easily embed a slab of html code into any html file by
using "server side includes" or "php includes" (google up these).
This saves you from having to repeat a lot of code everywhere
(eg, menus that get repeated).

If you are wanting to get a whole webpage into another, you might
be thinking of the now outdated and not recommended technology of
HTML Frames. But you could be bold and go against the recommended
trends. Frames are very poor for bookmarking for users and have
other downsides. But they are fun! If you need a hand, give a
shout.

Automatic updating of a website is a very different and more
difficult ask. It mostly involves databases and php. Are you up
for this?

Why not get the basics right first. See:

You won't like this advice, I would be wary of your "Microsoft
Visual Studio 6.0"

Consider Textwrangler and

instead.
