My introduction to web development was an outdated class my freshman year of highschool. Now after graduating college without really keeping up with that side of the tech stack, so much has changed that I don't recognize anything anymore.
what is the reasoning behind using lists styled with css to behave like the <select> tag vs actually using a <select> tag? Is the <select> tag simply not flexible enough?

I would like to make a website. I just wanted to get recommendations on which language I should use? Or if I need to use multiple languages, which ones should I use? I don't have any experience in website programming.
Well, first of all you can learn HTML and CSS, those are the basic for building a website.
Then, when you will be confortable with HTML and CSS, you can add a layer of difficulty and add some Javascript in it.
And then, when you will be ready, you can learn a back end language, but by the time you reach this, you will have your preferences about which one to learn.

I noticed that Google uses HTML table to represent their "Goooooooooogle" pagination links. Is that semantically correct way? What would be the implications if this method is used in a website?
And why would the developers use table in the first place, when inline or floating elements would give the same result?

Is it bad practice to occasionally put some CSS directly into some HTML tags if I am sure that it won't be used again?
For instance:
<div style="padding-left: 0"></div>
Or do I have to systematically create new class even for little tweaks that will pollute my CSS file?
Yes it is fine. Stylesheets are used mostly to style multiple pages in the same manner and for easier editing. Putting css directly in html also overrides all other conflicting styles.

Do tags like <em>,<strong>,<i> or css properties like font-size,text-decoration,font-weight have any impact on the way search engines see my site?
If you want to build sites from scratch, focus on the newest HTML version. If you want to look at older sites, yes, it's a good idea to learn older HTML tags. There are a lot of older HTML pages that are still up and running.
