Your questions are quite generic. For learning how Suricata works you
should run it.

To debug, you can use things like debuggers (gdb, valgrind), profiling
tools (callgind, cachegrind, etc), built-in profiling
(--enable-profiling), built-in debugging (--enable-debug), doxygen
(https://doxygen.openinfosecfoundation.org/)

Just reading the code is obviously also a good idea.
