Well for one, you can indeed parent the sword to the character's arm, this will move the sword with the character's arm like it is in his hand.
You got a long journey ahead of you and it's good to admit that you need work. Continue animating pieces like these frequently and you'll be good in no time. I suggest using references so you can "copy" whatever makes the animation stand out in your reference. I suggest that you start with walking animations first, and don't do just a cycle, animate the character starting and stopping (Which are the hardest IMO).

Here's is an animation piece I did for school, try to use this as a point of reference as it does have some complex animations for starters. It's not in mine-imator but everything was animated in keyframes similar to mine-imator.
