Magento 2 - how to get models, config(s), and order info similar to Magento 1 style (Mage::getBaseUrl, Mage::getModel, etc...))

Question

I am a complete Magento 2 noob. I know a lot of things changed, one of which is how to get the Singleton Mage:: instance and its methods. I know it is moved to vendor/ directory from Mage/Code/Core, but I still don't know how to call Mage:: and invoke the methods for getting the model and other things, like order total amount, and order items. I need this in order to implement a module, but also independently of the module, in a pure PHP page. How can I access Magento methods in Magento 2? I tried:

namespace Vendor\Module_Name\Block\Product;
$objectManager = Magento\Core\Model\ObjectManager::getInstance();

but it didn't work, I got the error message:

Class 'Vendor\Module_Name\Block\Product\Magento\Core\Model\ObjectManager' not found in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/magento2/retrieveTotalOrders.php on line 8

This is very broad question. Please narrow down what exactly u want to achieve like Customer, Product, etc.. — Jackson, Feb 01 '17 at 08:56
Particularly, I need information about product (product name, attributes) and order total amount, order items. — Vladimir Despotovic, Feb 01 '17 at 09:00
I edited the question. My problem is that I can't get reference to the object manager. — Vladimir Despotovic, Feb 01 '17 at 09:02

This is not valid class

$objectManager = Magento\Core\Model\ObjectManager::getInstance();

Use instead

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

You can use below code for call model anywhere

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$model = $objectManager->create('\Namespace\Modulename\Model\Modulename');
