What is the differences between a trial court and a court of appeals?
A trial court convenes juries, conducts trials and adjudicates defendants. An appeals court hears appeals of the trial court's trials - does not convene juries - does not conduct trials - and renders juedgements on the application of law and proper procedures.
What happens if the judges on court of appeals decide a trial was unfair?
Actually a court of appeals cannot decide that. A court of appeals can only decide whether or not the trial court correctly followed procedures and existing legal precedence. It is entirely possible for procedures and legal precedence to be completely unfair (they have been many times) but if the trial court properly followed them, the court of appeals must support the trial court's decision. If the court of appeals decides that the trial court failed to follow procedures and/or existing legal precedent, then the case must be retried in a trial court.

Some lower courts are specialized and only have trials on specific issues. The Supreme Court has only heard appeals since 1924. The Supreme Court reserves the right to hold a trial. No one has suggested any reason why the Supreme Court would sit as a court of original jurisdiction. Still, it could.

The 6th circuit court of appeals is a court of appellate, not original, jurisdiction. It hears appeals from US District Courts (normally trial courts) in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee (I think that's all of them) and any decision from the 6th circuit would be appealed to the US Supreme Court.
Does the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit have to follow a decision of the US Supreme Court concerning a federal issue?
Yes, if it doesn't want its decision to be overturned.Lower courts are expected to adhere to the doctrine of stare decisis, (Latin: let the decision stand) when deciding cases that have established precedent. This helps the judiciary apply the law fairly and consistently.Each case is unique, however, so each court that hears a particular matter may have a different interpretation as to which precedents are controlling and why. That is the type of case that often ends up in the Supreme Court for clarification.

Only in special cases, otherwise it mainly deals with jurisdiction with in the court's circuit. Yes, it does have nationwide jurisdiction. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit hears appeals from the US Court of International Trade and the US Court of Federal Claims regardless of where the trial was held. Its jurisdiction is defined in terms of subject matter as opposed to territory the way the jurisdiction of the other twelve circuit courts of appeals is defined. In that sense, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has no territorial limitations on its jurisdiction.
