I think the most confusing thing is the rail system and transition from city to city. I'm going to purchase the Rail Pass for 21 days; will this be enough to get around most of Japan or at least the places I want to go?

In theory you could see a large part of Japan in those 21 days, but the question is, how much of your trip do you want to spend sitting in a train.
I would pick (like you did) a few main cities to use a bases, and then satellite out. I think people forget that just moving and checking in takes time.
Kyoto, Kobe, Nara, are all day trips from Osaka (I would stay in Umeda, probably) A night in Kyoto wouldn't be a bad idea.
