What does Açıkçası mean here?
It means frankly, honestly, or to be honest. It is a very common sentence adverb used to introduce a personal opinion, often a blunt one.
In this sentence, Açıkçası sets the tone: the speaker is being direct about what they think.
It is best learned as a fixed expression rather than analyzed too deeply every time you see it.
Is o here the pronoun he/she/it, or does it mean that?

A useful rule:
- o by itself can mean he, she, or it
- o before a noun means that
