ArenaNet.txt looks like a crash log of some sort (atleast on my machine), I'm sure Crash.dmp is similar, not sure about gw.tmp

The text document:

I remember having only one file I couldn't open, and that was the .dat. What are these other things??

I don't know what a crash log is. Sorry that I didn't make it clear enough, so I will ask again:

What are those files, why are they there, do they have any meaning, should I be worried?

A crash log is just a log of what happened before GW last crashed. It can then be looked at to see why GW crashed.

Nothing to be worried about at all.
