She said "yes" and now I have questions. Homebrewing

Yesterday, my wife gave me her blessings to purchase a keg setup. Now, I have several questions.

 

First, I'm really confused about serving PSI and carbbing PSI. My refrigerator is about 34-36o F. I'd like to serve my hefeweizen at around 3.5 volumes of CO2. It looks like I could just set my regulator to 20 PSI and it would carb up nicely. For serving, however, I have a picnic tap coming that is rated at 12 PSI. How can I serve a beer that's got 23 PSI then?

 

I've also seen where people force carb at like 40 PSI and then crank it down to 10-12 to serve. How does this work, and how do you know how long to leave it at 40 to achieve the desired level of CO2?

 

This is all far more confusing than I thought it would be. No surprise there.
