Raster images are also known as bitmap images which are made up with pixels. Each pixel has its own color. BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, FITS are the basic file format of the raster or bitmap image.
Vector tracing, also known as vectorization, is the process of converting raster images or bitmap graphics into vector graphics. Raster images are composed of a grid of pixels, where each pixel contains color information, and they are resolution-dependent. This means that when you enlarge a raster image, the pixels become visible, resulting in a loss of quality and a pixelated appearance.
A Raster images is made from pixels and can be saved in any number of well known formats such as JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF...

Photoshop is a raster image editor. Raster and Bitmap are two words for the same thing, so Photoshop is raster or Bitmap image editor, somewhere you will see raster, somewhere bitmap as explanation but it is basically same thing. Photoshop is primarily designed to work with bitmap images which are raster images in other words.
Yes, partially. PDF encodes fonts and EPS graphics that are vector based. It also encodes images, in JPG format for example, which are raster based.
No. Raster images define images with pixels. But Vector images paint the pixels on your screen!
One possible categorization is in raster images and vector images.
Photoshop for raster images. Illustrator for vector images. These are the industry standards.
