What does the plus sign in a calling code mean?

The plus is a placeholder for your local international access (exit) code. On mobiles you can dial the plus directly; on landlines you usually replace it with a prefix like 00 or 011.

Why do the US, Canada and Caribbean share +1?

They belong to the North American Numbering Plan, a single shared dialling scheme. Individual territories are distinguished by their three-digit area codes rather than separate country codes.
