Is a spatula the flat thing that is used to flip hamburgers or is it the rubbery like spoon thing that is used to get every last drop of brownie mix out of the bowl?

It's both.
A spatula is a hand-held tool that is used for lifting, flipping, or spreading substances.

Yes, both. It's also a long flat spreader used to ice cakes with. I thnk the key word for all of these is "flat." Something on the tool has to be flat to be a spatula.

The first is a metal or plastic spatula/pancake turner.
The second is a rubber spatula.

a spatula is a broad (1" - 2") flat blade like a squared-off knife. The burger flipper is a "pancake turner", and rubbery thing is a "scraper"
