Hi Donna - great work!!

Where it says "full", that does refer to a string bend. It means bend a full step up - which means you are bending the note up to the pitch that is 2 frets above where you are bending.

And you are also correct about the squiggly line. It means to add vibrato to the note.

Check out this tutorial on reading tab if you haven't already:

Hope this helps!!
