The matchmaking system attempts to place you into matches at or near your skill level, after you've been initially evaluated by the 5 placement matches. It then maintains a few scores of your performance (based around wins/losses, and recent streak) and places you against players of a similar skill level.
I personally found the matchmaking in the beta to be quite accurate, matching me to players of my fairly average skill level. The more matches you play, the more accurate the matchmaking system seems to become; my first match after placement was a cakewalk, while the next few matches were more edge-of-your-seat types of matches.
If you want more in-depth information into the matchmaking system, the best place to look seems to be the Battle.net Leagues article on the TeamLiquid wiki.
Edit:
There's also a thread on the TeamLiquid forums titled SC2 Ladder Analysis which has a fairly comprehensive write-up of bnet2.0 matchmaking.
Handicap reduces the HP of your buildings and units to be the specified percentage of its full value. For Protoss units and buildings, both the HP and shields are reduced to that percentage.
So setting it at 90% means that a 150 HP unit will become a 135 HP unit (10% less). Setting it at 50% on a probe means that probe will have 10 HP and 10 shields. In cases where the result is a fraction, it is rounded up.
Here's a marine with 80% handicap value (and the nearby command center has 1200 HP):

The scanner sweep lasts 12.3 seconds in game time.
Using math found here the faster time speed is approximately 1.38 times faster than normal time which is a 1 to 1 ratio. The scanner sweep lasts 8.91 seconds. (12.3/1.38) or (12.3 * 0.725)
