I'm not really sure of how to word this nonconfusingly, so I'll just take a stab at it - just like your targets are color-coded in Eagle Vision, so are the places they've been. So, red trails mean a guard has been walking there (and probably will be again soon if you hang around) so this gives you some indication of the relative safety of a location in a broad sense.
Mobile mission targets, as well as captains, show up in gold - there are a few missions where this is pretty much the ONLY way to reasonably track down your target. (Two of the Master Assassin missions I've done so far, I think would be basically impossible without it - the first of these that I did tipped me off that I should follow the trails, though.)
This is easiest to observe in any mission where you have a companion who follows you around - they're gold, and you can see them leaving a gold trail behind as they walk around.
I must admit I don't get the question the way it's asked at the moment. You may have misunderstood how the online games work.
What multiplayer game modes did you try? You should first try "simple" ones, like Deathmatch or the popular and well-known Wanted.
The character you chose at the beginning is just "cosmetic" (appearance, animations, voice, etc...) and doesn't affect the gameplay. There is so no wrong choice here.
Then you chose a profile, giving abilities and perks. You will be able to change after each death and configure them when getting up in levels.
You should also play and play again the two introduction sessions to get the game mechanisms.
When trying online, some will be better than you. It will always be the case, don't worry. Just focus on what you try to do (checking the compass to get close to your target) and forget your pursuer at the beginning (anyway, when you'll be in last position, you should have no pursuer and be free to track your target without worrying too much).
The links at the beginning will explain in more detail how the game is meant to be played online.
A few key hints:
- Your target's picture is indicated on the top right of the screen. BUT there are tons of people like this on the map so, use your compass
- Compass shows your target direction and distance and relative height (above or below compared to your position)
- Lit compass means your target can see you. Start to act as stealthy as possible, not to be detected and to get more points
- Full compass means your target is very close
- When compass is full and several lookalikes are in front of you, be patient to know which one is the good one. He will sonner or later start to run, kill someone, act a weird way
- When hearing whispers, your are close to one of your pursuers, be careful, look for weird behavior, change direction to see who may be following you
- When detected, your pursuers will have a red arrow on top of them. Watch them carefully
- Use your perks carefully, they are quite long to recharge at the beginning
- Use the crowd a lot, stay close to your lookalikes to fool your pursuers
- In case of doubt, run fast :)
Please, insist, try and fail but play again, you won't regret when mastering it ;-)

In Assassins Creed: Revelations, there are essentially 2 types of chests.
Treasure Chests
Treasure chests can be found hidden throughout the game, in all different parts of Constantinople and Cappadocia. The locations of these chests can be found either by searching the city manually, or by purchasing maps at Book Shops. These chests reward Ezio with money. \
There are 12 maps that can be bought, and I've included their prices:
Bomb Ingredients Chests
These chests are unmarked on the map, and contain supplies used to make bombs. As stated on the wiki:
Thus assuming you have actually bought all of the treasure maps listed above, the chests you are likely finding are Bomb Ingredient chests.
A brief discussion on these unmarked chests can be found here.
