I plan to use SOLR for searching and then return results as ID nr:s only, and then use those ID nr:s
2- Should I use only one SOLR document, or multiple documents? Also, is document the same as a SOLR index?
3- Would it be better to Only use SOLR and skip MySQL knowing that I have alot of columns in each table? Personally I am much better at using MySQL than SOLR.
A document is "an instance" of solr index. Take into account that you can build only one solr index per solr Core. A core acts as an independent solr Server into the same solr insallation.

Yo can build one index merging some table contents and some other indexes to perform second level searches...
would you give more details about your architecture and data??
