Aye, that's very much what they are there for: when allying various forces you are often able to make up for some of the weaknesses that your army would otherwise have, so these bonuses are supposed to reward taking an otherwise weaker but more thematic army.
Worth noting though that the only army bonuses for normal games are technically those found in the There and Back Again book. The PDF which contains the rules you mention is an experimental set of rules used at a GW event to test these out, but not all tournaments or casual games will necessarily use them (for the latter you are free if all involved agree, in the former it's up to the tournament organiser). That said, future expansions will likely include them or something resembling them.

hi - answers in all caps below....
can models be trapped by friendly models when they are behind the model in combat and blocking it? YES
Also can supporting models such as goblin spearmen support units with bigger bases like troll? YES Can cavalry be supported by spears and pikes? YES
And can a model strike blows against a supporting model in a fight ( ie, the spearman or pikeman whose base isn't touching the enemy model only the frienly model) ? NO

Limited to just one spear support per model....if that wasn't the rule you could support Troll or a similar large-based model with 5, 6, or even more spears - it'd get out of hand - lol

Just imagine the number of pikes you could get behind a Mumak! But yeah, no, only a single figure can support with a spear.

Any model that spear supports a friendly model in a combat adds 1 additional attack to the fight, at that supporting model's fight value....i.e, a F5 spear supporting Elf behind a F3 Rohan Warrior = 2 total attacks for the fight and the good side's fight value would be F5 (due to the Elf)...
