In the case of AC, you can express the current, the voltage and the equivalent to the resistance (called "impedance" in this case) as a vector - with a magnitude, and a phase angle.

What does the term frequency mean in electricity?

That refers to AC (alternating current). A direct current flows only in one direction; an alternating current changes its direction all the time. The "frequency" refers to how often the current changes direction. It is expressed in hertz (Hz), which means the same as cycles/second.

What is the similarities between vector and phasor?

"Vector" is a description of magnitude and direction, and can apply to any quantity that has magnitude and direction, such as an aircraft's flight path. "Phasor" is a vector as used in alternating current electrical/electronic circuits. Calculations are the same as for general-purpose vector math, but the quantities are typically phase angle, voltage, voltage, current, resistance, reactance and impedance. Some calculations will use conductance, admittance and susceptance.
