Starting here is probably a good idea. Also look through the DirectX SDK as there is a lot of valuable information on how to start using shaders.

The DirectX SDK reference is a pretty good reference for HLSL. ShaderX2 is a pretty good introduction.

Incorrect. Shaders are not a magic bullet. You don't just add them to your scenes and then have realism. While they are necessary for high-quality simulation of certain effects, the biggest thing that gives your graphics realism is the skill of your artist. If your artist can't create meshes and textures which are realistic, all the shaders in the world won't help; and if your artist is skilled enough, you'll be amazed by how realistic he can make things without the use of a programmable pipeline.
The book "Microsoft DirectX 9 Programmable Graphics Pipeline" whole chepter about HLSL and some examples of using it. I found it very helpful.
