So "я ем " is present tense usually meaning "I am eating "
How would you say "I eat __" as in this is something I am willing to eat
It's the same sentence, you'd have to rely on context. If you're looking at the menu and your friend asks you "что ты ешь?" they're probably not asking you what you're currently eating.

Just curious is the bread in this case referring to something like croutons? Or is there another word for that?
I've come across салат as transliterated many times as salat, in hopes of trying to distinguish the common, green leafy salad to the often mayo and sour cream covered salat.
I am having a really hard time hearing how to pronounce хлеб. It sounds like schleb. Is that right?
I don't hear an 's' sound myself but the text to speech is iffy. Try Forvo for a few natives speaking it https://forvo.com/word/%D1%85%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B1/
Forvo is a bit annoying to use but the variety of pronunciations is really useful.
Yes. Салат and хлеб are both masculine inanimate nouns so their accusative form is the same as their nominative form
but why, in the past lesson i had the sentence "i need to cut the bread and the salad" and i wrote хлевА салатА" 'cuz a know they were in accusative, right? and now, again they're in acc. but spelled different. asklfjhsladkfjsafhakj
