What if: 1. I'm signed up with TUNECORE? AND 2.Example of LIBRARY: 100% of the Publisher’s AND ME: keep 100% of the Writ

I'm hoping that you'll indulge me, being an older guy (64), because I'm a little confused on 2 items. I'm also kind of excited because I did just get a song FORWARDED. I appreciate your help.
1. If a song I have is currently distributed by TUNECORE and it is forwarded to a Library listing that states: "....Company offers an EXCLUSIVE 50/50 deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. If you've checked the box to have your music "monetized," published, or administrated by a company like CDBaby, TuneCore. CAN I SIMPLY REMOVE IT FROM TUNECORE BEFORE SIGNING WITH THE LIBRARY (even though I made a few cents from it already)?
2. If the library listing says that they have "....many placements in Film, TV, and Advertising...", and that their deal is "...Library will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share...", is there is basic example/explanation as to what I get in different scenarios: Example: It's simply played in a TV program, Ad, or movie but there is no "mechanical" sold (soundtrack, etc.)? If it is part of a movie soundtrack and there are sales generated? I'm asking because it seems that if it is simply played, I won't get any $$$.
BTW, I'm retired, I've been at this my entire life. I'm not worried about the money part. I just don't want to be a jerk about doing something stupid.
I'm really sorry for not understanding this. Thanks so much in advance. Good luck to all of you.
