About the first question, its not a little soldier that u see in the botton of screen

...its a symbol about your connection, and when u see it, it means that u r experiencing what we call L-A-G....repeat after me....L-A-G.....it will go away after a few seconds, depending on the connection u have, if it doesnt, then your connection is really bad or the server's connection is really bad, thus, having a high P-I-N-G....the lower the ping that u have, the better u can play.

You're half right. Its actually not "lag"(latency) per se. The connection symbol at the bottom represents an interruption in the data transmission, not just a slow connection speed. Your ping can still be at 50 for example and experience this problem.
