How is a real estate broker different from a real estate agent in California?

A real estate "agent" is licensed to practice real estate, but only under the direct supervision of a broker. Without a broker to oversee their activities and take responsibility for their actions a real estate agent is not allowed to practice. There is a trick of language here though, and it has to do with Agency Law. By law, an agent is a person who acts on behalf of someone else. A real estate broker is also called a real estate agent. This is because they are acting as an agent for the buyer or seller in a transaction. So the broker has the legal title of "broker" generally and the title of agent in relation to his or her client. A real estate agent working under a broker is an agent only to the broker, the broker is agent to the client.

Is a real estate agent a party to the transaction?

Usually a real estate agent is not a party to the transaction, unless that agent is either the seller or buyer or has an interest in either side. The fact that he may be representing either the buyer or seller or even both does not make him or her an interested party in the agreement. Most states real estate laws clearly state that should an agent have an interest in either side of the tranaction then both parties must be notified for that interest. Thats why you often see and agent sellling his own home, even as a for sale by owner, the advertising and signs should mention that the home is agent owned. Its all about ethics more than the law.
