I don't know if that's spelled right, but whatever. Is this in any way related to something like 'Hail, Hitler!' and would people gasp and shout 'Nazi' at me if I used it when my AP gets on my nervs?

Oops. I meant my AP teacher, not my AP.

It means, literaly "Of course, my leader". I suppose the better translation is a very military "YES, SIR!!"

It means, "Yes, leader". This is the kind of thing that people would say if Hitler had just given them an order. That's why it's associated with the Nazis. If you said this to your teacher, you would probably offend him/her, because you would be comparing him/her to Hitler. Better not.

^ What he said.
"Jawohl" is a more emphatic and more formal use of the word "Ja," which is German for "yes." Directly translated it means "yes, right!" A German soldier would never reply to an officer with "Ja" - only with "Jawohl."
I don't know what an AP is, so you may want to be careful using the phrase around people who don't know you or German very well.

Yes, my leader.
Also it was 'Heil Hitler' and it's Jawohl, mein Führer
and your last question, find out! ;-)

Literally it's along the lines of "Yes, sir, my father", but generally it's "Yes, sir, my leader".
