Sheetrock is primarily gypsum, combined with sand and water.
Depends where you buy it - $ 8- 12.
Drywall mud is the thick, goopy white stuff you use to fill the seams between boards.
when you hang drywall, you have to tape off the seams with paper tape and "mud", then "float" the mud smooth. the drywall float is a flat metal tool on a handle that you drag across the mud to smooth it out, like when you smooth out the icing on a cake

I use about five pounds per 10 -12 sheets.
I use basic drywall primer over all of those.
A good taper and mudder would use about 10 gallons for that.
lightly wipe the drywall mud after it drys
A 4x8 is about 25 pounds - and very fragile.
If it's small spread mesh tape over it, then mud it. If bigger than doorknob size, put a patch of drywall into it then mesh tape and mud.
They install drywall, sometimes tape and mud it also, although commercially that is a more specialised job.
