Okay, so I should Leave it as it was and not take any other wires off of it?

I bought 2 terminal blocks to use for positive and ground connections in the 
engine compartment.  Should I run the positive and negative battery wires to 
those terminals and then to where they connect to the starter solenoid and 
block?  Or, should I run those wires direct and then jump back to the terminal 
blocks?

It is a shunt - essentially a big resistor (low value, high current 
carrying capacity).  The ammeter measures the voltage drop across the 
shunt and converts that to amps flowing through it (amps = 
volts/resistance).
