ANSWER

im not sure if ill be able to answer all those, but im sure i can explain what is the differences between absolute and relative paths in a computer environment

Absolute path: The absolute path means the 'root' path. in other words, the starting path. for example this post you are reading right now, the absolute path is:

Relative - the relative path simply means how the path is in relationship with the current page;

for example this post you are reading right now, the relative path is:
/difference-between-relative-path-and-absolute-path.html

as you can see from the examples, you can create you links as absolute or relative. the BEST way to program your links is to make them absolute because if you go with the absolute linking format, you will most likely avoid mistakes in your linking pages.

hope this helped you explained how relative and absolute paths are different.
