1. When you park a domain you can earn money from your unused domain without developing a site. There is always a possibility your domain might get sold while parked. It also helps in determining the popularity of your domain name according to the traffic it gets.

2. An addon domain is a domain name that that points to a subdirectory within your account, addon domains must be registered names that you own and configured to point to your website's servers.

3. If I am not wrong addon domains are similar to parked domains but they use their own account.

4. They are TLDs, .com is commercial, .net is next preferred after .com, .info is for informative sites, .biz for business and .org is used for organizations.

5. Didn't get it, be more specific.

Hope this helps

NS for Nameserver and A stands for A Record. A record denotes where your domain located and the nameserver is the server where your files are hosted.

Well addon domains are supposed to be setup so the nameservers point to your account, basically you can have different sites hosted with the same hosting account, or alternatively have say http://www.eatit.com and http://www.eatit.net go to the same exact place...
