well if you are printing cmyk, you will only be using 4 colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). using screen mixes though you an almost infinite color palette. if you introduce other spot colors by selecting a pantone color from a palette, you have just added a color to your print job. for example, regarding your question about the black, the 50% black will print as a 50% halftone while the 100% black will print solid (no halftone). look at a magazine with a loupe or magnifying lens and you'll see the screens and screen mixes. white is not a color if you are printing on white paper. there just will be no ink where there is white specified (for example, white type over an image knocks a hole through the screens to show bare paper). make sense? in short, you should have no problem with your print job as long as all of your colors are specified as cmyk mixes (no pantone colors).
