Wanting to get a floor jack for the first time... some questions from a noob!

This video is about changing the Haldex AWD fluid, but it shows him using a floor jack and stands on his 2008

Quite an elaborate process. He is using floor jack under the rocker panels - is it the same locations the scissors jack supposed to go to? What is it on the jack - looks like a cloth? Also it's pretty clear how it is done in the rear subframe, but where did he put the jackstands in the front?

For tire changing the sears unit is good. My three ton version bought two decades ago still good. Consider getting axle stands as well, because once you start looking under the car you'll quickly learn how easy it is to replace pads for example.
