The signage in most airports makes finding your gate pretty simple. The one piece of advice I will give you is if they tell you your gate when you check in, chect the TV monitors anyway. Gates do get changed and the desk staff don't always know about it. The monitors are all over the place in the airport, though, so it's easy to take 30 seconds and check.

As for missing your flight on your layover, it's very unlikely you would be scheduled on a flight you wouldn't be able to make. A 45 minute layover is plenty if you will be heading out of the same terminal, a little tight if you have to change terminals. An hour or more, and you are totally fine. Of course, go find your outgoing gate *before* getting food or coffee, even if there is a starbucks on the way between your arriving and leaving gates.

Don't freak out, it will be *fine*.

I'm sure you are right... I checked and if my plane gets to Detroit on time, I'll have a little over an hour before my next plane takes off.

I wouldn't stop for food anyway, I'm that paranoid *L*
