Welcome! We believe that the Orthodox Church is the original Church founded by Jesus Christ, yes. The best way to get a good idea of what Orthodoxy is about is to visit a local parish near you, but here are some books that I would recommend:
The Orthodox Church
The Orthodox Way
Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy
Know the Faith
On the topic of visiting a local parish - do you live in the US? If so, there is a great online search engine to help you locate nearby Orthodox churches.
I was raised in a conservative Baptist church. The book "Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy" by Fr. Damick was one of my introductions to the ancient faith. It covers Orthodox understanding of a multitude of other denominations and religions -- although it does not get super in depth. It is a friendly, easy to read tome.
There's a 20 episode companion podcast that is pretty great, too.
If you want an Orthodox perspective, and like podcasts, you could listen to Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy. You could also read the book (there's a new/expanded edition due out in December, I believe).
You could also read Jaroslav Pelikan's Development of Doctrine series.
And for something more approachable than that, there is this, which is surprisingly good.
Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy explains Orthodox Christianity but also explains the differences between us and other churches through the lens of the Orthodox Church, explaining why we don't agree with them. It's a pretty good book.
I don't think I've seen a chart I really like, but the book Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy gives one of the most coherent presentations of the evolution of Christianity. It's given from an Eastern Orthodox point of view, but the broad picture is pretty accurate. It's relatively short, about 200 pages, and broken up into chapters based on the five or so broad movements in Christianity. Each chapter gives the historical and theological background to each movement, then gives a break down of each denomination that "belongs" to that movement, and similarities and differences with Orthodoxy.
There's also a podcast, of which the book is an extension.
The podcast and book by Eastern Orthodox priest, Fr Andrew Stephen Damick's sheds a great deal of light on all heterodox beliefs (he takes the standpoint of the Eastern Orthodox Church). It's quite informational and engaging :)

Probably not what you are looking for exactly, but Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy compares and contrasts different Christian faiths from an Orthodox perspective without being too polemic (I think).
I would like to mention that the Catholic Church divided from the true church in 1054. Pointless argument by the Catholic church since they are the first "Protestants." I do think that the TRUE church exists but it is neither in Catholicism or in Protestantism. A good comparison of Christian Doctrine, with great explanation is this book Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy
This is also available as a free podcast. Highlights theological differences and why they matter.
