  I am looking to upgrade to a WordPress Premium account. How customizable are the themes? I am aware that you can change colors and fonts, but can you rearrange items and change layouts at all?

  Does Customize let me edit HTML?

  No. Customize allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications. You can read more about why here http://support.wordpress.com/code/, and find a suitable host here http://get.wp.com/hosting/.

  You can choose to apply your custom fonts or custom stylesheet to any of the themes available on WordPress.com. You can use any WordPress.com theme as a blank canvas if you check the Don’t use the theme’s original CSS option in the Customize → CSS panel.

  CSS editing is theme specific editing. You can also post to the premium theme forum and/or to https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.
