1.whats the center 5 tiles that sometimes flip over

These are called "Dora." You may see that term mentioned when you or an AI tallies up their hand value. Basically they're a bonus point indicator that add one "han" (point of value) to your hand per bonus tile you have. Note that the bonus tile is not actually the tile in the middle itself, but the tile that comes next in that sequence. So if you see a three sticks tile, any four stick tiles you have in a winning hand will net a bonus.

2.Should I not even Kan if I see I can get a 4 of a kind?

It depends! Kan is the one kind of "steal" that you can do on a tile you personally draw. If you perform a "closed kan" and form a four-of-a-kind with a tile you drew yourself, your hand will still count as closed and receive no point penalty. Of course, your opponents will still receive some information about your hand, but you don't really need to worry about that against these AI.

3.The Wind Directions I usually toss they are frustrating as the AI tosses them so fast, what do

Wind tiles are typically only valuable to you if they're either of your seat wind or the round wind. Outside of those, they're only good to you in incredibly specific hands and that's why you'll see the AI (and many IRL players) toss them quickly.

4.Do I need to win a match by stealing my last match?

Nope! As a matter of fact, if you draw your winning tile yourself, it's called "Tsumo" and nets you an additional han when tallying your points.

The game's tutorial pages help with this a little bit, but since you are apparently really trying to get a hold of the game quickly, this might be a good resource. Below is a link to all of the "yaku" (win conditions) in the game. How you win big is by constructing a hand that fulfils multiple of these conditions. (Though some of the really specific ones are more rigid but basically clean everyone out if you can manage to make them, I wouldn't suggest focusing on those as a newbie.)

The video below is also an *incredible* breakdown if you're looking to learn the game from zero, but it's pretty long, as Mahjong (specifically the Japanese "riichi" style played in Yakuza) is a very complex game.
