Well it would take a long time to answer all your questions about the registry. i will say, it is a file where configurations of your installed programs are kept. All operating systems have such a file, not only windows.
Below i will give you a link which might help you well.
In computing, the Windows registry is a database which stores settings and options for the operating system for Microsoft Windows 32-bit versions, 64-bit versions and Windows Mobile. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the PC. Whenever a user makes changes to "Control Panel" settings, or file associations, system policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the registry.
Peace..

its where the configuration for your machine is
there are no files in the registry only keys
start-run - regedit
Changes could impact the entire machine
