Could you please simplify the meaning of each one, so that I can get what the grammar is. Is the first one talking about future? The second about now?

First of all, it's a he, not a she.
The meaning is: he would rather be carrying a pen instead of the other item/items.
Really, that's as simplified as it can get.
