Yes, macrons are important because I've never seen a Latin text without words that are supposed to have macrons but don't. Also, it is important to learn them consistently if you are planning to study Latin in college or go to a Latin University because a lot of people have trouble if they didn't learn it consistently before they were in college.

What is Ago with a macron over o in latin?

It's the same as "Ago" with no macron: "I do; I drive" (agere being one of those verbs with various English translations).The first-person singular present indicative of all Latin verbs ends with a long o, and the macron is just a way of indicating the vowel length. Vowel length is not usually explicitly marked in Latin, although some scholars prefer to mark all long vowels. Others mark only certain long vowels when this aids comprehension, above all the long "ā" that distinguishes the ablative singular from the nominative singular in first-declension nouns.
