I noticed by default, 'proximity sharing' is allowed, what exactly is this? I can't seem to find anything on it

Proximity Sharing over TCP is used for short range communication such as NFC. According to MSDN, the range is about 3-4 centimeters which can only be used by Windows Phone. It's safe to say this rule can be disabled in the firewall.
