Can you describe how to set up a scrollbar for a ZO_ScrollContainer and how to use its scrolling event handler?

I've never used ZO_ScrollContainer, and I wouldn't use it in this case, either. Here's how I see it:
- ZO_ScrollContainer for UI widgets -- a number of controls, often of different types, shapes and sizes; each with a specific purpose -- a good example is LibAddonMenu's panel control
- ZO_ScrollList for lists of similar items -- like inventory; here the controls (rows) are not special, any of them can display any data item. You wouldn't want the guild bank UI to actually contain 500 rows. ZO_ScrollList does all the work required to create the illusion of there being 500 rows, while it only constructs as many row controls as are simultaneously visible.
You have N icons, M per row. So you'll add ceil(N/M) data rows to the list (simple tables containing up to M texture paths), and your row control setup function will set the textures on icon controls in the row.

We've all learned from
The Source and/or other add-ons
Don't get overwhelmed, you'll find your way around much more easily after you get used to how the UI is structured (I think 83% of it are lists).
