what exactly does it mean when, for example, a professor is "the john smith professor of finance"...who is that person in the title of the professorship, and what exactly do they signify/represent? do those people carry a lot of weight w/ the school?

these are what are called endowed professorships awarded to big name professors. a google search is all you need to know more. you are right - they are very well respected and working for them is a full time nightmare. 
assistant prof -- new professors have six years to make tenure. requires publications in leading journals, good teaching evaluations and service.
associate prof-- after you make tenure.. big bump in salary. job for life unless you are really slacking off or do something immoral or illegal.
full professor -- another 4-6 year clock. big bump in salary. lot of power. lot of recognition.

when some rich alumnus donates a lot of money to a school, one of the options is to "endow a professorship". So, if a person donates $5 million, that can pay for a professor's salary and a certain amount for research, etc. The perk is that the person who donates gets to associate his/her name with the professor.
In your case, John Smith is the rich alumnus, and made a large donation...which is why he gets his name in there. Professors who have names in their titles aren't any more influential than others...it does mean that they have tenure however.
