Secondly, how do I add new unit sprites to the game? I tried to use the whole conversion tool but that turned into a cluster f-. Do I have to use a specific colour palette for sprites or something? And what do I do to import then? Oh, and how do turrets work? I'm using Paint.net for the BMP files-- is that what I should use?

LBM is an old and obsolete file format that very few programs read.
As for what to use to work on Icons, I highly suggest you buy Paint Shop Pro 9 -- you can get a copy for $20 bucks off ebay:

I have a copy myself (been using it since it was 4.12 or 7.12 and upgraded to 9 a few years ago); and it's what SPCAMO uses to make their icons with.

Thirdly, how do I change the flag of a nation?

National flag(s) are in several SHP files -- for MBT they are:
Icon0016.shp
Icon0061.shp
BATBUT.SHP
BATTLE.SHP
Attached is a complete set of flag graphics for both Mexico and Venezuela to give you an idea of what to create.
