Sorry about mixing up your names.
For future reference:
Metastock has its own format, which is an informal standard used by a
lot of charting programs.
A MS database is separate to AB - usually stored in a Metastock
folder.
Have a look in the AB help manual if you want to see how to use the
MS plugin - AB will read it directly as smoothly as if it is a local
AB database - it is quite easy and the best way for you to do what
you want to do with the CT files.
When you import data into AB, via CSV, is is saved in the AB
directory in the AB format.

Yes you can continue on with your current database but you need to
learn at how to use the plugin first.

GUI means graphical user interface - there are some small programs
around that allow automating simple tasks with out having to write
scripts.
