Nice! I think I spent about 20 minutes my first time with CAW trying to figure out how to add a layer. Then I found out that right-click is my friend! ;)
I'm really bad at explaining things, and I'm not exactly sure what it is you're having trouble with, but here's a video on making intersections, does that help at all?
What exactly happens when you try to save in EIG mode? Sometimes when I'm saving in EIG, I have to alt+tab twice to get it to switch back to CAW, then hit "ok" on the save prompt (for some reason it comes up in CAW, not EIG for me...) then I alt+tab back to EIG. I'm pretty sure I get another save prompt or something in EIG after that, I can't remember at the moment. I'll check again when I use it later today. Anyway, I hope at least some of this helps!

Hmm if you saved the image file as 256x256, and it's 24-bit png it should work. It sounds like you're having trouble with the "24-bit" part, if CAW is telling you it's not right. I only use photoshop, but I know most people use free programs like the one you listed. For Pixelformer did you follow this tutorial step-by-step?
I'm sorry, I'm really no help with other image editing programs, cause I never use them... :( My only other suggestion would be as a last resort, perhaps use one of the pre-made images for CAW listed on the first post?
