<I imagine I will be able to "make my own wind" by moving the boat forward
using the electric motor.  Do I understand this concept correctly?>

You will make your own wind al-rite but in a calm the generated breeze
(apparent wind)  will be right on the nose and useless.

On the other hand;  if the actual wind is very light and on your aft quarter
you will by motoring, bring it around towards the bow and sail faster then
you could otherwise.
