Sometimes this is not clear at first, but airlines that offer one-way awards usually list points required for one-way tickets. So it would be 7,500 Avios each way, or 15,000 total.
As to how to keep up, start reading flyer talk regularly, and maybe some blogs, take good notes, and you'll get the hang of it.
