As the shopper adds things to the cart and navigates throught the site to shop more, should I store this info in a session var?

That would work. Alternatively, if you want the customer to be able to save the cart and come back to it later, you should save it to a database...

Should I create another class for cart and store an array of product_info to keep track of what's in the cart, etc...?

That's what I do, though I tend to use a generic e.g. Dictionary<int, int> to store the ID of the purchased product along with the number of items purchased...
