Spoiler Alert

District eleven gives a gift to Katniss not only because she was Rue's ally, but because she genuinely cared about her. She did all she could to save her, sang to her until she died, and decorated her in flowers proving that they weren't 'just a piece in the games.' She wanted people to know what a crime Rues death was, and District eleven wanted to thank her.

It's significant because the districts are not supposed to be united, the games pit them against one another, and any time a different district wins it means the death of two or your own people. District elevens gift (and salute) serves to show a growth of unity between the districts, and also to show that the districts are no longer content to be slaves. It shows a spark in the rebellion so to speak. Hope this helps :)

How does Katniss earn her first sponsor gift?

In the 74th annual Hunger Games, Katniss doesn't really seem to do anything to receive the gifts that Haymitch sends her. Haymitch watched The Hunger Games and observed what Katniss was doing and what exactly she needed and when she needed it. For instance, to gain the audience's attention and devotion for the "star crossed lovers of District 12", Haymitch sent Katniss broth to give to Peeta when he was in pain while he was in the cave to make the audience feel compassion for the couple.

What happens in district 11 during Katniss's and Peeta's victory tour?

In district 11, a lot actually happens. Peeta decides to give Thresh's family and Rue's family a month of their winnings every year until Katniss and Peeta die. Then, Katniss says a couple words about Thresh and said a lot about Rue. After she talked about Rue an old man sang her four note tune that meant the workers could go home for the day. The tune was also used by Katniss and Rue when they were in the arena that meant they were safe. Once the man did that, the whole entire crowd in district 11 gave Katniss the three fingered sign that meant peace and harmony that Katniss gave to Rue when she died. When Peeta and Katniss left, the peacekeepers brang the man up on the stage and shot him. They also shot two other citizens but we dont know who. That is what happened in district 11.
