Im not sure what the A/E icon does.Im assuming it means auto exposure. When is the best time to lock or unlock it.

say u r filming or taking photos where say the sky is bright, but u want to set your exposure to buildings.. u lock AE on the buildings - then as you film the sky, it's overexposed, but all the pics/footage during that time would at least be uniform - not changing all the time, depending on where your camera is pointed. At least that is my take on that functionality.

I agree, think you stated it perfectly. To the OP, you need to touch the screen on the POI you want, then lock it.
