URL rewrites and pagination

I must say that I am a complete nooby at WordPress custom URL rewrites. I have searched for past many days to find a clear explanation of how to determine and write correct pattern for URL rewrites. I have a custom page template that uses query var passed to it, e.g. http://example.com/pagename?user=username. In this “pagename” refers to the custom page template and “user” refers to the custom query var. I need this to be represented using the URL http://example.com/pagename/username.

To address permalinks we’d like to set them to be something like example.com/faq/#uniqueIdentifier, thinking that we’ll use the #uniqueIdentifier to match a div on the archive page containing the answer and call attention to it in some fashion. The uniqueIdentifier could be post ID, faq question title, data from a meta box, or something else.
