Well, just downloading it won't give you those icons....! ;)
It's not rocket science to design/create icons, but it's also not something that's usually done in 5 minutes. Give it a few tries, don't give up.

I want to know how it is white and see-through at some points. I can't figure out how to do that.....yet

Use transparency (parts of your image where there's nothing, no color, no background, at all) and save it as a PNG.

If I use transparency, the whole image is affected. How do I select only pixels or parts?

You do that by the Magic Wand too or color to alpha if they have that.

Take your time and look up some tutorials. Illustrator is a
powerful
program that you aren't going to learn overnight.

I have done it! All I had to do was play with it for a while.

That's always the best way to learn; they say that 10000 hours of practice makes perfect.
Start practising!
