If you get a high mastery grade after playing a match of LoL, you are eligible to get on of the many available crates. You need a key though (3 key fragments or a purchase in the shop.)

The crates available means how many crates you can open, you can only open 4 per month, so 1 per week. It's telling you how many crates you have left that you can open/use

Earn, not open. If you wanted to, you could buy as many chests as you like from the store, and open any number of them whenever you like. But you can only earn up to 4 per month (earned when you or somebody in your premade gets an S rating).

It's a monthly count. You can earn up to 4 chests each month, so the little graphic in your profile is there so you can track how many chests you've earned in that month.

It's a knock out drag out system. What you do get you don't keep. Its a loan for a week. Unless you throw it into the cycle to get a permanent version. Plus getting one after game is almost impossible. I played 12 hours yesterday and not one drop. Went 6-1 with J4 and nothing. I can go 5-5-5 and nothing. It's a buy to win. And at the cost I be better buying it out right. I was excited for this sense the game had a boring nature to it besides playing same maps and boring store.

You don't understand the system. you get a chest once per season for each champion everytime you get an S rank or someone else in your premade gets one. ie: your game with J4? You likely got an A+ ranking or something like that. Had you gotten an S-, S, or S+ rank, you would have received a chest. However, until the next season starts, you cannot earn another chest with J4. and you can upgrade the shards to permanent skins with essence you get from destroying skins you hate. You can have a max of 4 chests to earn and get another one each week.
