Super new to this game, just started designing ships. So I looked up the stock beam craft, it has a 1000MW laser and just 1MW fission generator.... it doesn't make sense for me as I assumed 1GW laser would require 1GW power generation? How do you figure how much your power your ship needs?

You forgot the decimal point. It's 1.000 MW of power. See the 10th resolution of the 22nd General Conference on Weights and Measures (2003) and a list of countries that use a comma or a dot.

For the second question, inspect a design, on the left panel there is a section dedicated to power usage, click the button for show stacked power. Usually it's okay to have more stacked power requirement than available power, because turrets will usually be destroyed in combat.
