"Does OpenFoam have a GUI for creating my model's"

Yes, FoamX can be used to set up dictionaries, initial fields, etc.

"and meshing it"

No, you have to use 3rd party meshers and convert them to OpenFOAM format.

"for postprocessing"

Yes, its called paraFoam (paraview).

You should have more than 2 CPU in your single system to do lam.
step by step as the manual, first boot the lam with command "labroot", then "mpirun" your applications.
Maybe you should read through the manual before you do something.
