**1.where these inputs come from?**

One single Bitcoin transaction can have multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Multiple Bitcoin from different addresses can be spent as inputs in one single transaction, and one single transaction can send Bitcoin to multiple addresses(outputs).

**2. why there are two outputs that is same as wallet address?**

It's allowed to have two outputs with the same address in single transaction.

**3. and what is the meaning of this green button?**

It means the output Bitcoin is not yet spent, so it's UTXO(Unspent Transaction Output).
