hi wendy,
for a first time vist to tna you will need a passport and a current bill (usually utility).
it can be daunting at tna, mainly because you are likely to be looking at microfilms.
war diaries may only be useful if there is a mention of an award, otherwise they tend to give regimental movements etc.
to view original documents you will need a readers ticket (not quite sure about this process asi have not used it). however, as usual, apart from the staff, other researchers, who are experienced are approachable and helpful.
