How in the name does Anakin join them at the end of ROTS... when did he learn how to do this?
It's already bad enought that what was once a mystical way of the Jedi knights is now a "feature" that you can learn / train / write a manual about it. It's like moving your ears... a very dificult to accomplish but rewarding once you get it feature.

I always had the idea that Jedi would, upon their death, anchor themselves to a place or person (Obi-Wan to luke, also see the Dark Side Cave) but apparently its this weird ability thing - one that from the way they talk about it in the prequels, Anakin shouldn't have had.

The novelisation actually explains it (since the scenes were cut from the film). It's something about feeling love and compassion while you are dying that gives you the ability to interact with the living even after death.
So Qui Gon does it by accident (note his touching parting encounter with Obi-Wan). He figures out why it happened and tells Yoda, who tells Obi-Wan.
Anakin didn't seem to know about it (he looked awfully confused when Obi-Wan disappeared in ANH). But his touching moment with his son at his death let him into the "Jedi Ghost Club."
Though how this stuff never happened before in the 25,000 years of the Jedi Order (yes, the novel claims the Republic is 1,000 years old, but the Jedi Order is 25,000+ years old) is incredible...
If the Jedi preach no emotional attachments, etc, this might make sense, but you'd think their philosophy would have changed a bit over the years and what about more liberal/progressive/radical Jedi? Surely they're not that perfectly conformist all those millennia? Oh well.

''Because Anakin was made by the will of the force, when he died he joined the Force once again because he becam one with the force.''
That's total bullshit to me, anyways.

Does the novel explain why Anakin is young as a ghost? If he was made a ghost by the touching encounter with his son it is more appropriate that he takes the form of a father figure, rather than a Hayden version. If Anakin became good just before dying the official bullshit explanation of why he is young looking is void.
Luke at the end of RotJ: "Cool, there's Obi-Wan and Yoda, and... and... who the f**k is that guy??!!"
