What's the point in resetting skill trees? And are all skills always equipped?

I understand that with perk decks, you can only equip one, which has a combination of certain perks, missing out on perks in other decks, but with skills, there doesn't seem to be an option to just equip one. So does that mean that every skill I unlock is ALWAYS equipped? That'll be sweet.
And I see I have to put perk points into perks to unlock them, but are they only unlocked once I put all required points into it or if I put say half points into the perk, will I only get half of the effect?
Example: A perk that increases movement speed by 20%, costs 100 perk points, I put in 50 perk points, will I only get the 10% movement speed increase?

yes but you only have 120 points at max level.

AND another thing, where do I get the "Iron Man" skill/perk?

perk skills can only be unlocked by filling them with perk points till their completed (not the perk deck fully but the perk that you wanna fill) and the point of resetting skills is so that you can try different builds like loud and stealth builds and once you unlock a skill its effects are automatically active when you unlock them

Skills don't work like perk decks. If you have the skill points you can get the skill, no strings attached. The only limitation to getting skills is your skill points (obviously) and the tier its in. In order to unlock higher tiers you need to spend a certain amount of skill points in the subtree (the amount is displayed next to the skills in that tier) this number can be reduced by getting infamy skills. Other than that you can do whatever you want with your skills, no matter what tree it's in. The trees are only there to organize the skills, you don't actually select a tree. All skills will be active until you get reset them, select a different skill set, or go infamous.

To answer the perk question, the perk deck upgrade will only be active when it's completed. You know it's completed when it's glowing.

Iron man is at the top of the armorer subtree, in the enforcer skill tree, the one in the middle. If you're talking about a perk you probably have the wrong name because there is no Iron man perk

Also I can tell you're new to the game so I very VERY HIGHLY recommend you play the story mode. It can be found by going into crimenet or crimenet offline and clicking the map icon with the ? on it on the left. You get cool rewards for doing the missions anyway but and they are extremely helpful early game
