depending on what explanations your talking about there are usually others explanations refering you on what to do

3) What does nandroid do and why?
this one im not too sure of myself

4) Wiping and why?
similar to winmo sometimes it will clear up a few hicups and depending on what your installing you better off doing it only a clean slate rather than "painting a picture a page with a bunch of araser marks"

5) What is the difference between custom kernals and roms? How do they compare?
with custom kernals you have many options. again with linux its based on kernals rather than registries like windows. most popular mods to the kernals consists of overclocking to increase performance and undervolting to save battery

Im sure there may be others that can offer greater detail to the answers if you need it
