Does destroying the Y-Wings at Walker Assault have any effect? Like does it decrease the time the rebels can attack the walker? And does it matter if you do it after or before the Y-Wings fire at the walker? Before is really hard to do though.

The AT-ST has a weak spot on its back, try to target this when attacking one and defend it when piloting.
Shoot those exhaust ports. Always the weak spot in imperial tech. :-) But seriously, anywhere in the back panel (back of the "head") is the "weak spot."
- If it is showing in the center, they're right next to you (any direction horizontally); if showing in the cone, they're close (within most blaster fire range); if it is just showing the outer circle/arc, they can be very far away (usually only effectively reachable by long range weapons). (I don't have the exact meter ranges.)
- Brighter red indicates more recent or louder events. If you hear something, it starts red and fades until the next action. If they're sprinting (which most users do constantly) it will stay the same color.
The following makes you show on enemy radar:
- Sprinting (the Scout trait can nullify this)
- Firing (the upgraded level 2 Scout trait can nullify this)
- Being a hero/villain/vehicle
- Being scanned by a droid or Scan Pulse
The radar indicates only 2D space. There is nothing to indicate height difference (above/below) at all.

Short answer: it decreases the y-wing run length, depending on when you shoot it down.
The first time I shot one down, I got curious about this and played around with it a lot. Here's generally what I've figured out:
Shooting down the y-wing will reduce that y-wing's amount of time it has contributed to the overall y-wing run. If you look closely at the graphic at the top of the screen during the y-wing run, you'll notice the "current" y-wing has a small cooldown that slowly runs out before the next one makes it's run.
That remaining time is what will be removed from the y-wing run if you shoot down the y-wing, meaning if you shoot it early in its flight, the whole time can be removed, but shooting later yields less of a reward.
Note: As mentioned by @Mufasa, there is also an achievement for shooting down one of the y-wings.
