When you get home, and connect to your home wifi the icon will turn from greyed out to highlighted. Once this happens all the data used will be over the wifi connection.

i think the only way to automatically lock the screen, without pressing the screen lock button, would be to password protect the device

Also you will see the mini BB symbol next to the wifi symbol in the top right corner, just another way to tell. If you are in range of your wifi the Torch will use it, however I have had some small amounts of data sent even when I know the wifi was on and working. Some apps will use data regardless. However the amount is small and I haven't used up even the smaller 200mb plan I picked (as I knew most of my use would be in wifi range) so you should have no worries on the larger 2gb
Also a cool thing with AT&T is you can go on the website and track your data usage so you'll soon get a good idea of how much you are using and when.
