-> 4. Are that there functions that would list all currently available:
-> 
->      1) theorems
->      2) tactics
->      3) conversions
->      4) derrived rules of inference

-I'm afraid not, but again see Wai Wong's useful summary.

If you have it, Sara Kalvala's xholhelp will do this for you, up to a
point. E.g. to list all known theorems in the search path leave the
dialogue box empty and click on "theorems" button. Sim. "apropos" but
be prepared to wait a while.

You can search for patterns, like *TAC to get at all things called
somethingTAC, but not necessarily all tactics!

You might tailor HOL_HELP_PATH & THM_HELP_PATH to access contributed
and other library documentation too. The version of this program
released with hol90.5 makes this a little easier, I hope.
