If you haven't already seen it, the PBW site has a FAQ graphic UI/text UI (PBW's graphic UI is flashier, but slower and doesn't play well with non-IE browsers; the text UI is faster and gets along better with other browsers.)

Designs you can't build will be greyed out in the lists, but there no way to filter them.

The raw data for this is in the Data folder (Components.txt, Facility.txt, TechArea.txt). I'm sure someone has made more accessible versions, but I don't have links handy. (My best guess would be somewhere among the modding guides.)

You can get a listing of the complete tech tree by starting a new game and enabling the option "Players can see complete tech tree". This option allows you to export the tech tree from the Research screen. I know someone cleaned that output up into a PDF, but don't have that link handy, either.
