Answer 1

They have pretty detailed docs. Sharetribe is a fairly complex application, so I recommend starting with Rails tutorials you can find free online - devcamp has some straightforward rails content.

Try to learn as much as you can of the Ruby gems Sharetribe uses as well, as this will help understanding the functionality.

Answer 2
