Not having a settings.xml file is normal -- this is not installed along with the other files at installation.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for anyone outside of your network to help you configure proper proxy settings. Please work with your local network administrator to make it work. But right off the bat, I'm wondering why you have ibiblio.org in the nonProxyHosts -- I'd remove it. Until you get this resolved, there is no point testing other commands. Maven comes in a very small execution bundle for installation, and then runs out to the Internet to download the various plugins it needs for the various commands.
