I'll try to explain each question below, let me know if you have more
questions.

The "Tags" menu work with everything that's handled by the "Mixed Tag"
scanning module. The "Mixed Tag" scanning module combines the tags
scanned by SqueezeCenter standard scanner and the tags scanned by the
Custom Tag scanning module. The configuration of the Mixed Tag scanning
module specifies which Mixed Tag entry each type of SqueezeCenter object
should generate. In your configuration this means that both SC artists
and SC album artists will be added to the ARTIST attribute in the Mixed
Tag scanning module.

Track artists in your Mixed Tag configuration is everything
SqueezeCenter considers to be track artists. I think this is all ARTIST
tags on albums that have an ALBUMARTIST tag.

In your Mixed Tag configuration an Artist is all artists which
SqueezeCenter considers to be an "Artist" and all artists which
SqueezeCenter considers to be an "Album Artists". Basically this should
be all ARTIST tags on albums without ALBUMARTIST tag plus all
ALBUMARTIST tags.

All artists that are considered to be an "Album Artist" in
SqueezeCenter. However, since you also have "ALBUMARTIST" listed in the
Custom Tag scanning module configuration I think there is a risk these
will be duplicated, so you both get album artists from SqueezeCenter
and from Custom Scan. 
Do you get duplicate artist entries in this menu ?
If you like to avoid that, remove ALBUMARTIST either from the Mixed Tag
or Custom Tag configuration, I think I would remove them from Custom Tag
unless there is a specific reason you like to scan ALBUMARTIST with the
Custom Tag scanning module.
You can also specifiy ALBUMARTIST as "Excluded custom tags" in the
Mixed Tag configuration.

See answer above.
