Does the sentence mean that "i will call Bob and i must go shopping", or that "i must call Bob and i must go shopping"?
The latter.

Regarding the てばかり conjugation, does it imply “disapproval”, in other words will ボブ勉強してばかり mean “Bob does nothing but study, and I’m not pleased with it”
Exactly. But you need to finish the phrase ボブ勉強してばかり first so I can be sure you know how to use it.
