Your mechs are arranged into a garage on the left, the clan and innersphere folders let you create new loadouts for those mechs. The weapons/items is available on the equipment tab. The "Mechs" and "Weapons" tabs are references to help you decide what mechs and weapons to bring.

The equipment panel only shows equipment that is applicable to your mech and its hard points. If an item is partially grey, it means that it is not possible to directly add the item, but it might be possible to add it if you shuffle some things around. By double clicking one such item, smart place will attempt to shuffle your equipment around for you in an attempt to get the wanted item to fit.

The "Max Sustained DPS" graph show how to achieve the highest possible sustained DPS for a given range. The height of each weapon's "slice" in the graph is how much DPS is contributed from that weapon type.

In this example we can see that at ranges 0-100m the pilot should engage with the SLAS and AC/20 (no surprise there). The fact that the ER-LLAS is not shown at all at ranges 0-100m means that using the ER-LLAS is suboptimal for sustained DPS at this range; however it may be useful in certain situations like when you need a larger alpha to hopefully kill an opponent. Beyond about 200m you should not fire the SLAS any more, heavily rely on the AC/20 and fill in with the LLAS when you are cool enough and can't fire the AC/20 due to cool-down. As you start to approach the maximum range of the AC/20 the ER LLAS will be the bulk of your DPS.

The damage graph will also show how the spread from LB-type ACs will affect your DPS, assuming a target roughly the size of an atlas side torso. The small tip at 350m is where the projectiles loose damage due to long range, the rest of the fall-off is due to projectiles not striking the intended target:
