I can't give you all the help you need, I'm afraid, but I can clear up a bit of 
confusion:

In both cases, the Drupal module is just a wrapper for another piece of 
software. In TinyMCE's case, it's actually an external wysiwyg editor that has 
to be installed by itself. The Drupal module, then, is what lets Drupal know the 
editor is there and embeds it into your Drupal installation. So you do need to 
go download that other thing. I seem to recall it's relatively easy to install 
that part, and just needs to be inside your modules/tinymce directory. But it's 
been some time since I've looked at it.
