At the far right of the search bar, there should be a star. Click on that, and you have created a bookmark. Alternately, you can press CTRL-D on windows, or CMD-D on Mac
Question

I save bookmarks using the star and they don't show up on the bookmarks lists. Why is this?

Are you sure you didn't delete the bookmark? Be careful not to click the "Remove" button on the Add sheet.
Question

I have imported my favorites from my Chrome setup on another computer. On my new computer, they show up under an "Imported" folder; I'd like to have them showing up straight away on the bookmark bar.

Copy and paste the shortcuts in the Bookmark Browser (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+O) from the folder. Then paste at the "Bookmark Bar" folder on the tree.
Question

How do I access bookmarks direct from the Task Bar?

Community Answer

Choose ... (Chrome Menu) > More tools>Create Shortcut. Then it'll pop up as a shortcut on the desktop; you should be able to pin it as if it were a standard app.
Question

I've got adware in Chrome, so I need to reset the browser. Is there any place I can go to see a complete list of my bookmarks and quick links in html format, so I can save them all at once?

Go to Bookmark Browser ... (upper-right)> Export Bookmarks. Also, if you sign in with a Google Account, sign back in. It'll make much more sense to you that way.
