What kind of combat does FGO have? Would I get into it okay if I've never seen or played any of the series before?

Here's a sample of a story battle I found of someone using 2 low star servants and the best support servant from another player

Here's a more indepth explanation video of the basics of combat

Here's a quick reference for the class affinity (which classes beat which)

Some notes
Arts card build NP guage faster and deal less damage (When NP is 100% or more, you can unleash the servants special)
Quick cards generate large amounts of critical stars which get distributed randomly on the 5 action cards. 1 star = 10%. If you land on the critical chance, the attack is critical and the effects double. (Double arts = double NP build, Double Quick = double crit stars, Double buster = double damage)
Buster cards are raw power with little to no NP and Crit Star generation

Every servant has a distribution of action cards unique to them. Berserker class servants on average have 3 Buster cards, for example, and one Arts card and One Quick Card. A Caster will on average have 3 Arts Cards, since they suck damage-wise. An assassin will typically have 3 quick cards cause they have low raw damage, but excel at critical hits.

With 3 servants on the field, that's a pool of 15 cards which are randomly selected every 3 turns. After 3 turns, the pool is reset and the cards are redistributed. Though if there is less than 3 servants out on the field, then of course the shuffles are less random.

FGO is very friendly to new people to the series, that being said i had an easy time getting into it because I knew much of the series lore and I already had servants I know I loved that I would aim for when I started the game. My problem getting into most of these types of games is unless there is someone I know I want to roll for, I can't get into the game. But if that isn't an issue for you, then you can just discover the servants you want as you play. You have a guaranteed 4 star from a pool of good 4 stars when you first start the game. I'm not sure what kind of specific information to tell you to get your interest, but I can probably answer most of your questions about the gameplay.
