Also, who is the woman who is not Scarlett Johansson?
Cobie Smulders, as Maria Hill. She's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. No superpowers, but Joe Quesada describes her thusly:
[Hill] is such a strong personality, she's like a force of nature and quite frankly, while perhaps not immediately loved by all involved, she's certainly as strong and imposing a figure as Nick Fury. Right now I feel that people view her as the outsider but [while] I don't think she’s any harsher than Fury has ever been, what's different is that we aren’t quite clear about her motives
Sure, Nick Fury orders people gunned down for verbally objecting to laws that haven't been passed yet all the time!
I'm actually not 100% sure - I'm pretty much the "huh, is that some Marvel thing?" person in my comics group. But he doesn't, like, grow to giant size and become radioactive or anything Marvelicious like that.
Should we tell her about Clint Barton's stint as Goliath?
In Thor when the guy grabbed the bow, I figured there was something more there, so I looked up the trivia on the movie and got to Hawkeye from there.
I know I'll never have a Marvel fan's knowledge of cannon, but I'd like to be able to get the movie to movie references and character movie-backstories, where available.
Doesn't he have a thing where he's unable to miss a shot?
No, that's Bullseye. Also Hawkeye and Black Widow have romantic history. Or did in comics canon.

It's pretty clear they have some sort of history in the teaser where she puts Coulson on hold. (Did I vague that up enough?)
I don't know what they've retconned but originally Black Widow was a soviet agent and Hawkeye was a criminal (jewel thief type). I'm getting the sense that both of them were recruited then trained by Shield in this series.

Ooh. Maybe she knows Molotov Cocktease.

She's basically the model for Molotov Cocktease. Though BW does not withhold her affections. (She was also involved with Daredevil.)
And Bucky. Also, Hercules. (Though who hasn't been, really?)
Of course Clint was involved with Mockingbird, the Wasp, and sexed up a Wanda-shaped Doombot.
