Some answers to your questions:
1. Yes, the green arrow means that player "supposedly" should be called up to the active roster. I don't reccomend calling up your top prospects before they get an arrow, as it might stunt their growth. However, if a replacement-level player had already reached his max potential, and he still doesn't have a green arrow, its fine to call him up.
2. Ehh. Try not to go too low, as they might shut off negotians completely. However, don't offer them what they want immediately (unless the player is eligible for arbitration, then they will only take a 1-year deal slightly above estimated arbritration unless you offer them multi-year and wat more than estimated arbitration), as you might be able to shave off (or add) a couple of years from the deal and shave off a couple million.
3. All I can tell you is, pitchers aren't valuable unless they have high stamina. Don't draft relievers in the 1st round unless you are in a dire need for them. They always hang around until the supplemental rounds/2nd round. If a pitcher has high stamina (reliever or starter) and a fair amount of pitches, draft him early. Don't draft straight power guys too early, as they alwayshang around. Try to get high contact/high defense guys. I've just scratched the surface, there are plenty of posts on this board that dig deeper. I will post links if I find them.
