If going for a month, you might want to get different regional guides to get an idea of what there is to see along the way.
My photo albums might give you some ideas:

They are pretty much listed in alphabetical order, first by country and then by region.

Yes, ou should watch the speed limits and follow them. There are enough signs, they are just in km, that's all. You'll find out if you need to pay a toll when you encounter the toll booth, but I think that is only for the large A super-highways.

As someone said, get the regional maps and guides.
When driving in France you take the "direction______", not the "I85"--that is to say, you need to know the next town on your journey because that is how the arrow will point--not with a road number.
