A tumor is a lump that you can feel with your fingers, it is a lump or a swelling that may or may not be tender to the touch. It is possible to get a tumor on pretty much any part of the body. If you suspect that you have a tumor you should see your doctor.

What is a retracted nipple?

A retracted or inverted nipple is one that doesn't stick out or protrude past the level of the surrounding skin. If the nipple has always been this way, there is no cause for concern -- it's normal. If a nipple that used to protrude now is retracted, the finding could be a sign of a mass or tumor in the breast.

I am a boy so why do I have a ball under my nipple?

The description "ball" is somewhat vague in this context; if you are overweight you could simply have a fat deposit on your chest, or if you are muscular it could simply be your pectoral muscle; it is also possible that you have developed a cyst or a tumor (in which case you need medical attention). If this ball is larger under one nipple than the ball under the other nipple, that would suggest a medical problem.

Is the word mass and tumor synonymous?

No, not necessarily. A tumor is a mass, but a mass is not necessarily a tumor. My doctors are using the terms "mass" and "tumor" very interchangeably. Right now they just know that it is not a cyst, the rest is a test in process so one will refer to mass the other will talk about different tumors.
