What is the difference of a gully trap drain from a floor drain?
The difference between a gully trap drain and a floor drain is placement. A floor drain is in a floor, a gully trap drain goes on an external wall.
Should the trap be before or after vent?
Depends on your perspective what is before or after. If you're following the direction of the water flow, the trap needs to be before the vent. A water filled trap blocks bad smells/dangerous gasses from entering your home. Putting the vent closest to the sink would bypasses that block. It would also likely cause gurgling because of siphon action trying to pull the water out of your trap (the vent breaks the siphon because its easier to pull air down the vent than to remove the water from the trap) Right = Sink - trap - vent - main drain stack

Is the pee trap above or below the vent?
I BELIEVE: In a horizontal run, the p-trap must be below the vent. Otherwise, the vent may fill with water, creating a blockage, which would then syphon the water from the p-trap causing odors and health concerns from sewer gas. On a horizontal run, the vent must come off the run (presumably with a "wye") where the vent run is above the center line of the drainage run, thus the p-trap is lower than the vent...

Do you need an air vent installed for the dishwasher and garbage disposal and if so can it be installed another way if needed?
Your kitchen sink should already be vented if there is a p-trap draining to the wall. if it is an s-trap it is not vented and not to present code requirements. The dishwasher drain goes into the side of the disposal and the disposal should drain to the trap. A separate vent is not required for the disposal or dishwasher as the trap for the sink is what requires a vent.
Allowable distance from trap to waste pipe?
Normally local codes prevail BUT I normally go no more then 24" from the trap and the trap located no more then 2ft from the vent
