Coriander is sorta like cumin. Combined, the two go really well together and can be used for a dry rub on chicken, meat, or vegetables. It's a little more bright and citrus-y tasting than cumin. I don't usually use it on its own (whereas I use cumin on its own all the time) but combined with other spices, it's great.
Garam masala is spice blend that's used in Indian dishes. Every Indian chef and region has a favorite recipe, it seems. I'm not an expert on Indian cooking by any means and I have no idea how authentic this is, but I have found this to be a good all purpose blend.
Allspice is kind of hard to describe....the best I can do is a combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper. It's most often used in very small doses in baking, but also in Jamaican jerk rubs.
Yes, cayenne is spicy. I mostly use it in small doses to provide a little kick to chili or a wet/dry rub. If you're not into spicy food, you can leave it out and your dish will probably be just fine!
Star anise I usually use for soup broths. I make a lot of pho and Asian noodle soups, where star anise is often called for. If you wanted to add a little licorice essence to something (stew, soup, etc.), adding a few star anise pods will do the trick. Anise also comes in seed form, but the licorice flavor is much more pronounced and I very rarely use the seeds.
