1.- ADB is a tool to run commands on your device, and to get a shell to it. You can use it to install apps, modify files and such. There is not much use for ADB as most of the tasks you would do with it can be done with graphical tools, like Root Explorer.

2.- There is no need to close apps, that's how android works. Apps are left in memory as long as possible, so they load faster the next time. A task killer may even be detrimental, as it consumes CPU cycles to kill the app, plus the extra cycles to load it again later. Let android manage apps.

3.- It is an app that manages apps that request root access. Basically it prompts you to grant access and can remember your answer so the next time you are not prompted.

4.- I'm not familiar with OI, maybe one of the apps hides some files (those the user may not care about, like cache and app settings).

5.- Looks like thumbnails, for faster loading in the gallery.

6.- Moving it where? The SD? That's not supported in Eclair (2.1), Froyo introduced the "move to SD" option. As a rule of thumb, do not bother moving to the SD unless you are low on space, as apps will load faster from the internal memory.

7.- Yes, B&N mentioned they are working on it.
