apeture, shutter and metering can work pretty much the same as your FM2. heck, Nikon's centre weighted metering still uses 60-40 weighting if memory serves. As far as in-camera is concerned, it's just a little more ergonomic nowadays. oh, and trust me, when you're shooting certain subjects, autofocus is a GODSEND.
With digital, it is possible to get good results out of the camera, same with a straight film print, but the best results often come with a little bit of postprocessing work. If you're entirely new to digital, i'd reccomend taking a class in "photoshop for photographers" or something along those lines. You won't regret it in the long run.
If you want to dive in at the deep end, you may want to use RAW, but this tends to need a firm grasp of the concept of white balance and so on. If you do decide to go down that route, then you will want to take another class on RAW Processing/Workflow. although i doubt this will be a local thing.
It sounds a lot, but the results can be very rewarding, artistically, financially (no film/chemical costs), and of course saves you one heck of a lot of time.
Wow! that was long winded Whatever you choose good luck.
With regards to camera selection (someone correct me if i'm wrong) But I believe the the D200 offers stop-down metering with older Nikon glass
