Forgive me for sounding noob.

I'm kind of confused why は is wa in a sentence but it's ha.

は as a particle of the main topic of a sentence is an exception in pronunciation. Another exception is へ which is spelled e if it's a direction particle.

the characters that have the comma things near them give the character a guttural sound. like the "g" sound. lol i'm 14 just graduating from middle school just learning japanese and i know that.

Markings on script letters/characters that convey a change in pronunciation are called diacritics. They have them in arabic, farci, and a few other languages as well.

They are individual letters. for example ka - ga ga has comm on it ka doesn't
ki - gi same thing.
If it has little circles you pronounce it using a p sound.

It's a t ran onto a su. Z in German often is the same sound (e.g. zu).
