The widgets here on your admin page are created for you. People use them on blogs and webpages.

Another way to showcase your products is to create a Powerpoint slide of your products and make it into a video. You need Microsoft 10. Powerpoint.
You can post your video on your Facebook page.
Just make your powerpoint then when you save it, go to save as - Save and Send.
You will see "create a video." Click on that. Then to the right you will see computer and HD Displays, choose medium display. Then finally click the square - create video.
When you go to upload the video at facebook, you can add a "call to action button" Choose "SHOP NOW" and add the link to your ecrater store.

Here is the one I made for my store:

Do you have somewhere you want to post the widget? It's not for use inside your eCrater store; it's for use to advertise your store somewhere else. If you have your own blog or website, then this feature will create the code you need to add a widget to your blog or website.

If you want a widget to post somewhere else, then yes you need to select both the type and version. If you don't have somewhere to use the code, you don't need to generate the code.

The widget works nice in blogs. It will be nice see it with a custom size option.

is there a way to specify which 3 or 5 items appear first?

NO. The items rotate on the widget without any influence from you. Lookers will see whichever items you have for sale that got 'grabbed' to be shown on the widget. Depending on your inventory, I suppose you or anyone could see all your items through the widget if you have the patience for that. But, nope, no selection on your end for what is shown.
