I can try to break those down for ya!
Alby: Nostr has native support for what we call "zaps". A zap is a micro payment (a.k.a tip) which anyone can send anyone else. These zaps use Bitcoin's lightning network to make the magic happen. Alby is an easy to use lightning wallet with native nostr features
Client: nostr is a protocol, not an app. It's just a set of standards for how apps *could* talk together. A nostr client is just an app that follows those standards. Client = App.
Public/Private keys: on nostr you don't have an account like a traditional platform. You have keys. Your public key is what you share so people can follow you, and your private key is your secret password. Whenever you do anything on the network your client will sign the event using your private key. If I have your public key I can look at that event and prove it was originally created by you. In this way your "account" is entirely portable. You just plug your key into a new app and all your data follows you (because you own your key)
