In any buffer, you can type C-h m to see the modes that are active in that buffer, and the main key bindings of those modes.

You should be all set-up and C-x C-e (or C-u C-x C-e) send the expressions to slime interior-lisp process, ie. sbcl in your case.

You could add paredit-mode to help you editing sexps in a more structured way.
