I believe the Bucky arm moment was a mix of emotions that fit all the descriptions.
Fear in that he just lost his left arm/vibranium shield, and feeling a defenseless in a fight
Shock/Surprise, in that he wasn't aware they could do that
Betrayal, that they would have incorporated a fail safe as such against him (think how the Justice League felt when they found out Batman had a literal contingency plan for each and everyone of them, so far as Kryptonite bullets or such for Superman).
and with that betraying thought, has to be followed by the guilt of betraying the Wakandan trust.
By which they demonstrated that they gave him that arm, but they can just as easily take it back. Which is a fear, shock/surprise, "betrayal" and guilt all at once.
He fucked up, and he realized it in that moment. This is resolved by him making amends at the end of Ep5 by handing Zemo back to the Wakandans so they can do with him as they please.
Although I do find it odd to send Zemo to the Raft, instead of imprison him in Wakanda.
But I guess this will make it easier for Thunderbolt Ross to get access to him and recruit him to a new team.
As for the Shield.... the Meteorite crashed in Wakanda, and they were the only known place to find that rare precious metal. Klaue wasn't the only raider of Wakandan lands in search of Vibranium, and certainly not the first to possibly successfully obtain some against Wakandan will.
Let's just go with the assumption that however Stark obtained the Vibranium, it was originally stolen from Wakanda before making it to his lab. They just chose not to make an incident out of it just to retrieve such a small amount 70+ years ago.
As for Walker thinking the Shield is his? Of course he does. Like she said, he think it originated from Captain America, and is the symbol of an American Hero. He thinks he earned it and ascended to face of the American Hero who that shield represents.
I see no reason as to why he would be briefed to it's origin or how the materials it contains was originally obtained. Just that this is the Shield of Capt. America, it's made of a rare bullet proof metal, defies logic, and will always bounce back to you.
But he's wrong. It isn't his. He didn't earn it. and that shield represents more than just the "heroic" face of the US Military's covert action figure who gets to act w/ impunity and jurisdiction around the world.
I'm glad he got his ass handed to him by the Dora Milajae and then Bucky and Falcon.
and I bet Falcons new Vibranium Wing Suit is gonna be BADASS BTW.
I wonder what Red Wing will be like w/ Wakandan tech behind it.
edit: I just remembered that Steve's Alt-Timeline Shield is what was given to Sam, as the Prime-Timeline shield was destroyed by Thanos. But I'll just assume all timelines were identical up to the point where Cap exited Alt-Timeline w/ their shield, meaning it's partially stolen vibranium and other rare blends of metal not yet mentioned.
