Is the word game a short a sound?

No, the word "game" has a long 'a' sound in it. According to Wikipedia, "mat" has a short 'a' sound, and "mate" has a long 'a' sound. Since "game" is pronounced similar to "mate" (as far as the 'a' is concerned), I would assume that the 'a' sound in game is considered long. Next time, I would word your question differently.

What is an A with a semi ring over it called?

What you call a semi ring is a breve, if the curve of the ring is 'pointing' downward (the open part is up). This mark is one of the diacritics. There are several different diacritical marks. This one (ă) indicates that the a is pronounced as a short vowel, as in bat, rather than its long counterpart, as in mate.
