The are for shelling out beans, the pods are edible and ok when young, but the mature beans inside the pods are best.

Almost all YY's are bush beans.  If you let us know the seed source we could probably tell you for certain.

The black and white ("Orca") beans are generally dwarves, at least all the one ones I've seen in this country have been.... THe red and white ones are normally climbers, from memory the three varieties you're likely to see are Egyptian Pea Bean, the slightly darker "Box" and there's one I can't tell from EPB called Monastic Coco... so black and white is likely dwarf and pink/red/maroon and white is likely climber...  If you've got a climbing black and white I'd be very happy to swap any one of a large number of bean seeds for a few... as I suspect would Galina ..... :-)
