Is this software worth using to learn about music production? I've watched a few videos and it seems to have a lot of useful features, but would I be wasting my time learning by using this?
I just want to make simple stuff, I have a real hard on for DOS era soundblaster card music.

learning to use any program helps, it is transferable knowledge.

That's what I was thinking but I don't want to learn bad habits. Going from gimp to photoshop was really painful for me, and I don't want a repeat of that.

I've used a lot of music studio software - Ableton, Reason, FL Studio. They are all better than LMMS. But LMMS is a really good way of startig off. It has all of the basic components of a music studio, and will give you some idea about whether you want to take things further without spending a lot of money.
Also because LMMS has fewer features, it forces you to come up with better musical ideas. So I would say give LMMS a go and see whether you are talented enough to justify spending the money on a professional studio program.

though I do know how to play the piano somewhat, I have no digital piano keyboard. Is that going to hinder me or no? there are a few on Craigslist by me for like $30 but I would prefer not to spend money if I don't have to.

No, you can add notes to the piano roll, rather than using a keyboard. It's slower, but you still have good control. Youtube is full of tutorials on LMMS:
