Yes Tom Rob is innocent. He was wrongly accused of a crime due to his ethnicity. In regards to Mayella, she obviously was feeling lonely along with having a crush on Tommy. Once her father found this out, he was the force behind the untruthful acquisitions. The debate should be whether this was due to he being racist or embarrassed or both.

This quote means that even though Aunt Alexandra doesnt say anything her she is implying that she doesnt approve of the children. She implys it by her body language and the conotation of her words.
