Emilyさん,
You are definitely right! When you are using この it usually indicates some nouns come right along!

So would it be fair to say that これ can be translated as "This one" and この can be translated as "This [blank]"?

It`s funny how people born in English speaking countries have difficulties with pronunciation.
e.g. when you buy Asahi (beer) in UK, it says at the back that you should pronounce it as ahh-sah-he; just how the hell does ahh-sah-he sounds like a-sa-hi ?:D

To the question below, あの人 is pronounced "ano hito", but may be enunciated "ano-s-to." There is a shorthand to spoken Nihongo. For instance, "hajimemashita," meaning "nice to meet you," is often pronounced "hajimemash-ta." A syllable cut short here and there can certainly alleviate some of those dreaded tongue-twisters :)

What is the romaji for あの人? It sounds like "ano sto" in the pronunciations I've listed to.

Often times you'll hear その、あの、この words used as filler in spoken conversations. It is very similar to how "umm", "uhh" and "like" are used.
