There are many flavors of boba/bubble tea, and many kinds of ingredients may be added. The most popular bubble drinks are bubble milk tea with tapioca and bubble milk green tea with tapioca.
Boba is the little tapiocal pearls or "bubbles" in the famous Taiwanese drink bubble tea. It's a delicious milk tea drink with tapioca in it. Boba tastes and feels kind of like jello, except with a harder center. Order one in china town and taste it for yourself. :)

No, dextrin is a short carbohydrate. Gluten is a protein, principally from wheat. Without knowing how the dextrin is produced, however, it would be impossible to know whether it might be contaminated by gluten. Dextrin is produced from starch, which can come from many sources.
When you look at tapioca pearls, they do somewhat resemble fish eggs. However, they are made from a South American root starch. They are basically plant material, not roe. The pudding itself does use ordinary every day chicken eggs in the recipe, along with the tapioca, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
