Read some of the stickied threads in this forum, and do some reading http://tescosi.com/wiki/Main_Page as well.
You will be able to answer your own questions easily, once you know what these things you mention
actually are.
edit: Also, knowing how they all work wouldn't hurt, so again, do some reading. It will help immensely, and prevent otherwise quite predictable nightmare situations in the future. Personally, I recommend getting used to BAIN, for installation and uninstallation. It is vastly superior to OBMM (i.e., using OMODs) in almost every way. For that, and for Wrye Bash in general, get http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/35230 and work your way through it.
