If you have the $50 applied to your account already then whatever you buy will automatically come off your account balance until it is used up. Then it will charge the credit card.

I assume that it has asked you for your credit card details, that doesn't mean that it will take any money from it. I have used iTunes cards before, loaded the credit into my account and it will always use your available credit until it is used up, only then will it start using your credit card for any purchases.

If in doubt go to apple.com and contact them through the site, they are normally extremely helpful.

Gift cards have to be redeemed and not used like a credit card. Click on the word "Redeem" in the right sidebar and in the next screen input your gift card number, The money will be applied to your account and you will see the available cash next to your iTunes user name (top right.)

That same thing confused me at first. I think it eventually gets updated but when they go to bill you for it it takes it all gets accounted for correctly.
