how do i import custom jpeg textures

You need to convert them to TGAs with Photoshop or a free converter, then use VTEX, VTEXGUI, vmtCREATE, or this Photoshop plugin to convert the TGA to a VTF image and supply its VMT.

Can I make VtexGUI drop files into my mod "Test Mod" even though the wizard drop down has options only for HL, HL-D, and CS:S?

The funny thing is I can't control where the final files will be copied so basially if you open the SDK pannel and select your MOD from the dropdown list, then start Hammer, then close it.

When you'll compile textures with VtexGUI it will put the compiled textures into your MOD's folder (the MOD you set in the SDK pannel).

I just use the photoshop plug-in nowadays, saves all the conversion. I just make the .vmt manually by copy & pasting from other ones. I used to use VTFTool.
