Okay, I'm teaching myself the first movement to the Eroica on the piano by ear.
I'm listening to Midi files to learn it.
I'm only interested in the first movement.
I know the song starts off with two bangs, then there's the main melody in E-flat-major, then there's an odd chord switch?

Then, there is the "Best, most powerful part of the first movement"
I wanna EVERYTHING about this part. (don't leave this un-answered)

Any advice?
Can somebody please help me out?

There are several piano transcriptions (that I know of): one by Liszt for piano solo, and others for four hands or two pianos. Have a look [link removed by moderator]. I doubt any of them are easy, and if I were you (given that you called it a song) I wouldn't try any of them for at least a few years.
