....or is everyone just /yell or /shouting? I just ask because the couple hours that I *did* get to play, when in town, there was very little "tradechat" or guild spamming like in "other" games.

I saw a good amount of guild spamming, but due to retainers, you'll see very little in the way of tradechat. From what I could tell, /shout is the same idea as /1, it is talking to everyone within the same area.
/shout is zone-wide, /yell is just a much larger area than /say without being zone-wide, so most people use /shout as general chat.
There's not many people shouting to sell stuff because there's either nothing to sell, or nobody that needs to buy it. Quest leves and dungeon rewards pretty much have you covered for the vast majority of things. It's not the fact we have retainers that stops it, since they're just storage + AH.
As for communication, almost all of it is via shout.
It has worked well, i get good contact with people in the immediate area, and thankfully people are not spamming or trying to sell stuff on the server I am on, people are very respectful and courteous. Nice change.
