Guitar chord/tab finger placement chart?

I am super super super novice. Like, literally, i picked up the guitar today and looked at my dad’s guitar chord chart and managed to play some easy ones. I have 2 questions,
1st) How do you play tabs? I don’t understand them
like this one
E-x—x—-x—x–|
B-x—x—-x—x–|
G-x—x—-x—x–|
D-5—12—8—15-|
A-5—12—8—15-|
E-3—10—6—13-|
2nd) Is there a chart online where i can see people placing their fingers on the chords so i can get the jist of how to play some of these?

That is not the best way to learn chords and you should start off with open chords. Try these : The numbers in the circles tell you which fingers to use ; first finger is 1, middle finger is 2, ring finger is 3, little pinky is 4
