It can be both. An operand is something that the operators act upon. Cell references will allow for variables and the numbers in a formula would be constant. Both are operated on by the operators.
An operator is anything like the plus sign, the division sign, the minus sign or the multiplication sign. Using them you can carry out operations. The name for the numbers or cell references in that situation is operands. Look at this example:
=C1+10*3
Here the + and the * are operators and the C1 and the 10 and the 3 are operands.
Absolute Reference
E23 can be a cell reference, referring to the 23rd cell in column E. E23, or any cell reference, can be used in formulas.
No. Most formulas would not use them. It is used when you want to have a formula that is to be copied, but has a cell reference in it that you don't want to change when it is copied. For a lot of formulas that is not a requirement, so absolute cell reference are only used in some formulas.
A relative reference in a formula will change when it is copied.
Not exactly. Every cell has an address. When using the addresses in formulas, they are referring to a cell. When a formula is copied, what happens to the cell references differs, depending on the type of cell reference. See the related question below.Not exactly. Every cell has an address.

Normally it would be a relative address, but depending on what you want to do with the formula, you could have it as an absolute or mixed cell reference. If the cell reference is the same as the cell that the formula is in, you will have a circular reference.
They can be called a range or a block.
3-D Reference
It can be called a constant or fixed value. If it is not a value but a cell reference then it can be called an absolute reference.
You could just copy and paste it. You could also set up formulas in one sheet to reference cells in the other. To do that, as part of the cell reference, you need to specify the sheet's name, followed by an exclamation mark and then the cell reference. So if you were on Sheet2 and typed this into a cell, it would display the contents of cell A5 on Sheet1:=Sheet1!A5You could just copy and paste it.
