For Lockpick, you right click somewhere to activate the skill, then left click on the chest or door. Most doors in Aleroth have a key somewhere nearby to open them. For locked chests in the catacombs, you can carry them back to town to open later. Locked vases can just be smashed.
You can find lockpicks randomly, or later in the game you will find merchants who can sell them.
The teleporter pads, like the one south west of Aleroth, require a teleporter scroll to activate, after which clicking on one will allow you to teleport to any activated teleporter pad.
When you get a little farther south of Aleroth, you will meet a wizard who will explain this in detail, and give you the human teleporter scroll. After that, you should go talk to Goemoe again.
