In addition to the above, if you're looking for something that's maybe more easily digestible (Augustine, while a masterful writer, can be difficult if you're not used to reading ancient texts), you might try The One Thing is Three by Fr. Michael Gaitley or The Trinity by Fr. Gilles Emery.
Gaitley is the more accessible of the two, as his work is largely reflective and filled to the brim with anecdotes, while Emery presents a much more theological approach to the topic.
EDIT: Also, the full text of Augustine's De Trinitate is available on New Advent, if you're not able to purchase the book.
In addition to what has already been said you may like the following book on the Trinity in response to point #1 and just generally:

It's really good, written by a Dominican so you know it will be clear and thorough, very academic but approachable.
A lot of thoughts here, and please, any specialists feel free to correct me.

Visible Missions
In a round-about way to answer your question: where one person of the Trinity acts, all act / are involved, because the persons are not divided in essence. So, the Holy Spirit is present in the visible mission of the Son, while he was at work on this earth (Annunciation to Ascension).
I'd really suggest The Trinity by Gilles Emery. It's a short book, and relatively accessible.
