I'm very new to Blender, and am struggling to even move the view / camera

I can rotate, pan up/down and left/right, zoom in/out... but I can't actually move forward / backward?

Is the only way to move forward / backward simply by zooming in/out? would this not really mess things up in terms of depth of field?

The most convenient way to move the camera imho is to activate the Camera from View option in the N panel > View. Now when you'll be in camera view it will work as if you were in viewport navigation:

Also it's convenient to have the Orbit Around Selection option enabled in the Edit > Preferences > Orbit & Pan.
