Is it that the first day is considered Shabbat? Is only Friday at sundown to Saturday at sundown considered Shabbat?

"Shabbat" means Sabbath and it only refers to Friday sundown to Saturday after sundown when three stars come out (about 25 hours, actually). The first two days are a "yom tov" (literally "good day" but used to mean 'holiday'). Passover is a holiday, but it doesn't have the same limitations as the sabbath in terms of working, and of course one doesn't eat bread or some other foods during Passover.

Shabbat and Passover are completely separate things. Even though Shabbat can and will occur at least once during Passover. So the answer again is Shabbat is only Friday's at sundown to Saturday at sunday; yet Passover is the day the it starts at sundown, then ends 7 days later at sundown

The concept of Yom Tov was already explained so I will not repeat it. The first two and the last two days of passover are considered yom tov days, basically the same concept of shabbat applies to yom tov (no work, lights, electricity, driving, writing...). The middle 4 days are considered chol hamoed (still a holiday but not the same level of observance as shabbat) and during these days you can do anything you can on a normal day, you can drive and everything else. Generally people will wear nicer clothing on these days as a reflection that it is still a holiday.
This year Monday night-Wedneday night is considered the shabbat style of the holiday, wedneday night-sunday is considered yom tov and then again sunday night-tuesday night is the shabbat style.

Among the orthodox and conservative movements, the first two days of Passover as well as the last two ( the 7th and 8th days) are considered to be holy days. The other days- the intermediate days are not. This year, Shabbos falls on an intermediate day, so it is observed as it normally would be. Among the reform, only the first day of Passover and the seventh day are considered holy days. They do not observe an eighth day. This is actually moe in keeping with the literal torah commandment, that Passover shall be kept for seven days. The eighth day was added sometime in the middle ages so that Yiskor could be observed.

Passover is not Shabbos. Shabbos is a weekly day of rest from sunset Friday to 45-72 minutes past sunset saturday night every week.
Passover is a holiday classified as a Yom Tov.
(Holidays) such as Passover have most of the same laws as Shabbos but there are less restrictions on what you can do mostly preparing food for the holiday.

No; a shabbat or sabbath is always on Friday after sunset. Some holidays observe the same restrictions as the sabbath, but Passover is not one of them. It does have its own restrictions, primarily on the owning and/or consumption of yeast and other leavening agents.
