From Maya to Quixel Suite :'(

FORSAK3N

Hi guys... There are a few things I really wanna ask but not sure if I have to post multiple posts or I can bunch them up in one. And by the way... Sorry if I am asking really dumb questions... I just started to learn and so... Any kind of suggestions (Good tutorials or courses) that can really help me working towards the pro path is more than welcome...
    First it... I really want to know where to find a good human male and female blueprint reference (age between 15 to 21 years and different ethnicity) so to work on modelling.
    Secondly... I really want to know how to create all the maps that are needed to to be plugged in Quixel 2.0 Suite (like all the light maps, specular maps colour id maps, etc..). If these are generated through the rendering in Maya... Then how do I use them to texture (both organic and hard surface model texturing)?
     Third... Does this Quixel Suite texturing only works only if I have a highpoly mesh and a lowpoly mesh or can I create 1 model and texture it?

Thanks in advance guys...

@TeriyakiStyle: Thanks a lot for the reply. I did watch the Tutorials in the Quixel site but all of them start with plugging in all the normal maps, AO maps, etc... and as a beginner I am having a little hard time setting up lights and rendering. When I tried to bake some normal maps but Maya was asking me for the 2 meshes and it is a little hard to figure out how to make the other maps including the colour id maps etc.. (further more confusion). I did Google and go through couple of tutorials for both Maya end of the work and Quixel suite but could not take the end product from Maya to Quixel and create textures and maps in Quixel. Really sorry if it seems like I am being stupid but I just started learning by myself. Thanks once again.

Thanks a lot for the reply I did start to do some small and different projects so that I can learn more.. I will search for the info/suggestions you provided and comeback with any doubts or questions that I have. Really thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
