Is a pointer like a memory bookmark? Would that be a good way of thinking about it?

That is a good way of thinking of it, though often it is referred to as an address, and is often likened to postal addresses.

Is it just a name-tag we can stick to a specific hex address? It's just a tool to make hex addresses easier for us to work with, yeah?
