Hi Angela,To find out whether Talkback is the latest version, open the Play Store, go to your menu and choose "My Apps". Any apps which have updates will appear at the top of the list. It's a good idea to double check the permissions requested and read the what's new section, just as if you were installing a new app, as apps can suddenly add advertising or whatever else and sometimes don't even acknowledge it in the What's new section. If you haven't yet used Google Play then it's definitely a good idea to sign in (create a Google account if you don't already have a Google+ or Gmail account, even if you only use it for your phone) as you can then download and update apps at least and depending on how long your phone was sitting on a shelf before you bought it, there might be updates for numerous apps).
With whether you are running the latest version of the operating system, if you go into settings (usually open the notification shade and choose settings, otherwise look for a "settings" app in your app drawer), and go to "About phone" which is usually the bottom option. It will tell you what version you are running and also give you the option of manually checking if there are any updates. Normally the phone will check automatically once a day unless you turn that feature off (you are only likely to ever get one or two updates over the life of your phone, and then months apart).
According to the first random site I looked at on the internet, it said your phone runs Android 4.2.2, which is a reasonable enough version to be running - 4.3 does fix a couple of bugs but in any case re Talkback, I found the Talkback tutorial the most helpful, it's built right in - go to settings then talkback, then into the talkback settings, and go down until you find "Explore by touch tutorial", it walks you through most of the features.

If you need any help, please let us know! If you do, if you could say what kind of device you have, how you are accessing it (eg if you are using Talkback, or the magnifier or anything) and what version of Android (if you know) that information will often help someone to provide an answer that will work for you. All the best and enjoy your device! Regards Quentin.
