ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Those shell icons are for your ammo lockers. You have two lockers, A and B. When you select your A locker (which is the default one that you use when battle starts), your guns in your selected gun group (R or T) will all fire that ammo. You can switch lockers in the middle of battle (the Y key) and it'll take time to reload, but it offers you a lot of flexibility. For example, on battleship main guns, players fill their A locker with Light HE and their B locker with AP; so they'll normally fire explosive shells at their targets, but when they encounter an enemy that has enough armor to stop those shells, they switch to their B locker and use AP to break through.

As for your second question, my opinion is that it's never too early to learn how to AA, but for IJN there's the exception that their AA gunner class requires a bit of special classing. For now, stick with classing your main gunners normally (you should have two of them, one for forward R guns and one for rear R guns), and level your AA gunners after doing a bit of research on how they should be classed.
