1. What does it mean exactly?...
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnml "")))
2. And why only one single quote?...

This sets the variable gnus-secondary-select-methods to a list
containing one element, which itself is a list containing two
elements: the first is the symbol nnml, and the second is the string
"". Gnus interprets this as indicating that you're using the nnml
mail backend with all the default server parameters.

That's how one expresses in Lisp that the following expression should
be left as-is. Without the single quote, the following expression
would undergo "evaluation", which in this case would result in an
error.
