Is this in the case or is it being leak tested? This is most likely just air, let the loop (but not the comp) run overnight, it should go away. If not, you could have a leak letting air in.

Yes leave the top open, the little bubbles will go away over time.

Put the tubing all the way over the barb and seal it there, its bad to seal it right there. It's not as good a seal. And yes foam is normal. It will go away after a few hours.

so I would replace that barb? with 1/4 G/BSPP to 1/2" ID Hose barb fittings ?
my tubing should fit it right or do I need new tubing

Yes, 3/8 and 7/16 tubing is ideal for 1/2 barbs because you get a nice tight fit, and the ID of a 1/2 fitting is 3/8 anyways, you don't lose any flow. In the mean time I would slide the tubing onto your barbs a bit further.

That picture is effin scary. How is that not leaking? Luck! Dude...the hoses need slid a bit further on, then the clamps will go BEHIND the bulge (near the red arrow), not in front of it. That is what creates a seal and prevents you from producing expensive bricks.
