That button:
You are welcome to have an action item in the action bar that will “open up some window of buttons”. You can choose whatever icon you want for this action item. I strongly encourage you to not use the same icon as the action overflow menu. There are millions of possible icons, so surely you can choose one of greater relevance to whatever the “window of buttons” is and will not conflict with the users’ expectations of what the action bar overflow should look and work like.
