The number corresponds with the number of gears [speeds]. Most child bikes may have three gears. Gears are especially helpful when biking up or down a hill. For most riders ten speeds are more than enough.

It's really not clear what you mean with this. With 10-speed I assume you have two chainwheels up front and five at the rear. Basically you get on it and ride. pick a gear that lets you turn the cranks at about 80-100 turns/minute. If you want to be slick you try to keep the chain as straight as possible, i.e. you don't run the chain on big-big or small-small.

What is the difference between a mountain bike and a ten speed?

A cruiser bike is a bike that gives an upright riding postion, is usually blinged out, and is ridden rather sedately. MTBs are available in several different versions(XC, AM, DH), but basically they're about providing a compromise between ruggedness and rideability. Mountain bikes have much knobblier tires and usually have suspension, which is rarely available on cruisers. Mountain bikes are also used competitively.
