Silver carbonate is a CHEMICAL SALT. Hence it is neither an acid nor a base.
Sodium carbonate is a salt composed of sodium cations and carbonate anions. It is neither an acid nor a base, but it can act as a base in certain reactions due to the presence of carbonate ions that can accept protons.
The balanced equation for iron carbonate (FeCO3) reacting with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is: FeCO3 + H2SO4 -> FeSO4 + H2O + CO2
Since Fe+ is more reactive than H+, I would guess that it is slightly acidic, but let me look that up for you... Yep. It will react with water to form a solution of a strong acid, hydrobromic acid, and a pretty weak base, iron(III) hydroxide (Which is actually weak because it forms FeO(OH).H2O, iron(III) oxide hydroxide hydrate.)
To determine if acid or carbonate was in excess initially, you can titrate the reaction mixture with an appropriate base of known concentration. The point where the base completely neutralizes the acid will indicate the amount of acid present initially. Any excess base after this point would suggest that the initial excess was in the carbonate.

No acid contains calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is its own compound that is a base, not an acid. However, the erosion and deposition of calcium carbonate in nature is heavily influenced by carbonic acid.

Na2CO3 is a salt, specifically sodium carbonate. It is formed from the reaction between a strong base (sodium hydroxide) and a weak acid (carbonic acid).
Carbonate (CO32-) is a weak (double) base, it can accept two protons (in 2 steps).CO32- + H+ HCO3-HCO3- + H+ H2CO3
