who gets bitcoin transaction fees and how much are they worth, in general?

1

Antpool says it keeps transaction fees to give to their engineers.

How much does amount to, in general? Is it the 50 bitcoins or whatever it is? Or is it a different amount?

To answer the second half of your question, it's usually pretty small relative to the block subsidy.Nick ODell 2017-03-18T23:15:48.743

You can go to http://blockr.io/ and look at the "block fee" column to see how much in fees was collected with recent blocks. It seems to be averaging around 1-2 BTC per block.
