CSS is for creating styles for your html pages. These styles can include position, size, color, effects, etc.
By using CSS in an external file, the same file can be referenced on multiple pages, therefore reducing the amount of repetition between pages, in the attempt to keep them uniform in look.
In your three width examples above, the "width: 150px;" would be the standard way of giving an element the width of 150 pixels. The second two with slashes are implementing a CSS Hack, which "certain" browsers will "skip over". So for example specifying:
width: 200px;
w\idth: 150px;
all browsers will assign 200px width to the element, while only certain web browsers will then change the width to 150px if they understand the hack (with the slash). The browsers that don't understand it, will stay at 200px.

its a different way to designing websites other than just html tables. Here's a site with examples of css pages http://csszengarden.com/
also that width: 150px; is the width of an item. You can makes boxes to replace tables and place items in them like that also

CSS is the currently accepted way of designing and adding style elements to a web page.
To find out more about the controls and how they work, look to http://www.w3schools.com/css/ This site is created by the organization that controls the HTML (and CSS) standard and say what tags, etc. are valid.

CSS is cascading sytlesheets.
It allows you to create a consistent look in your site.
For example you can set all table tags to have a border color of red, so that every table will have a red border. You only need to put it in one place instead of on every table.
This is typically used to create certains styles for header tags and paragraph tags. Once you create one initially, you just copy and paste it to other sites and make the few changes for your new client.
