one thing is what user uses from ram, the total usage of the system for ram is the second

if there would be other users logged, it would show more usage, that looks fine to me

One is total, one is per app/user, you can click the '>' to the left of your name to see details.

I'm assuming the rest of the used ram is for file caching. File caching is a good thing. You want any ram not used by applications to be used as cache otherwise it's a waste.

Yes, Windows uses some of the system RAM. On some systems it's more while on some it's less.
