I'm still learning Solidity and contract development. I have never used EtherDelta. I know it can be used for trading different tokens, but I would like to understand the following two things:
How can new tokens be added ?
Can all ERC20 standard tokens be traded using EtherDelta?
The metamask UI in your screenshot seems to be, a bit different. Try reinstalling. It has several issues like that. Normally, there is a Token tab, under which 'ADD TOKEN' option resides.
On clicking ADD TOKEN button, the following box appears, where you can enter the contract address.
The token symbol and decimals of precision are automatically fetched. Once you added the token, the balance tokens in your account is displayed.[Correction: Metamask doesn't allow to transfer tokens]. You can also modify your contract to send the token automatically, whenever someone send a specific amount of ether to this contract address.
Can someone help me understand what is the way to get the tokens from contract to the wallet and then sell it to exchanges lets say: etherdelta.
From their git repo, you can see as,
How to list a token:
Any Ethereum-based token can be imported as a custom token and start trading on EtherDelta, without permission.
To appear on the list of official tokens, the token owner/creator should PM Zack (EtherDeltaZack) with the following information:
a. Token address (code should be verified on Etherscan)
b. Official Web site (the token address should appear on the official Web site for verification)
c. Paragraph description of the token.

In this high level overview, the Etherboost team which is behind EtherDelta wrote:
If you go to the EtherDelta page, you can click on Tokens (in the top navigation bar) and see the list of all the tokens that are currently traded.
As to the process by which a new token gets listed on EtherDelta, I could not find any published information about what the steps are, so I would recommend getting in touch with them directly to ask. This really informative Stemmit article here about how to use EtherDelta lists several places you could ask that question:
Later Edit:
I emailed Etherboost to ask for clarification about how an ERC20 token gets listed on EtherDelta, and here is the answer I received:
