It is African-American slang for doing something all the way. It comes from the times when slaves stepped over a broom as a sign of marriage. There was no 'half-stepping' over the broom and into marriage it was an all the way commitment and the expression has come down that way

It means that rather than having the strings tuned to e, a, g, d, b, and e, they would be tuned to e flat, a flat, g flat, d flat, b flat, and e flat. So yes, you do have to tune each string down a half step. You can check this by matching the pitches with a piano, a tuner, or a pitch pipe.

Means "You gotta commit"
You can't walk anywhere with half-steps, right? You gotta take full steps to walk..

It means tune each string down by one semitone. This is easy to do if you have a chromatic tuner - E would become Eb, B would be Bb, G would be Gb, D would be Db, A would be Ab. Easy really. If you do not have a tuner, then simply tune them down by tuning them relative to each other in the normal way, relying on ear.
