 * WordPress doesn’t generate HTML files, it uses PHP files. These are available
   in the dashboard under Administration > Appearance > Editor menu.

 * Yes that would work.
 * You might want to give [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/)
   a look over, to see how WordPress handles templates.
 * Also, if you’re modifying an existing theme, consider using a [Child Theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   so that your modifications aren’t lost when the theme updates.
