I have a 6th gen ipad. On my Storage data screen, it says I have used 8.4 GB of 32 GB storage. Whenever I try to add new files (movies, software updates), I get a storage is full message. What is going on here?

What is the exact wording you see? Might it perhaps be complaining of not enough iCloud storage rather than iPad storage?
You can check your available iCloud storage from iPad settings:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > Manage Account Storage
Unless you have subscribed to a higher “paid” storage tier, you will be limited to 5GB of iCloud storage. While this may be sufficient for basic device synchronisation, if you are storing iCloud backups, photos or files in iCloud, the “free of charge” storage quota is very easy to fill.
These support pages should prove to be helpful:

Not sure.
For iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset/forced restart of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.
