The part that goes over the nose is a nose band. The thing that goes over the entire head is called a bridle.
The halter of the horse is used to control them while you are not riding. They are made of cloth (or rope, or leather), and go around the nose, behind the ears, and attach around the throat with a latch. Unlike bridles, there is nothing in the mouth. A halter (also called a head collar) goes around the horses nose, around the back of the head and under the throat. It is used to lead a horse and is made of leather or fabric.

Ponyboy goes on to say, "A long-legged palomino colt that has to get his nose into everything." A colt is a young horse who is curious about the relatively new world around him
It could mean a lot of things, many horses do that for different reasons. The horse may want some attention, or a treat if you give your horse any. My horse does it sometimes when he wants to go riding. But like I said it could mean anything.

Hunt seat equitation is your ability to ride your horse. Being able to post on the correct diagonals, keeping your horse in control, and keeping a good pace, and be able to ride a pattern. In showing you have an equitation class and a showmanship class. Showmanship classes are based on your ability to show off your horse while riding. Have them pick up their feet enough so they won't trip, keeping their heads up, staying in control, correct diagonals,putting your horse's nose down, and just make them look pretty. Equitation is based on your riding, Showmanship is based on making the horse look pretty as well as your riding abilities.
Not always. There are many different kinds of 'bitless' bridles used to control a horse's head while riding. Hackamores and bosels are excellent examples. Using pressure points other than the mouth such as the poll, nose and chin, can be just as effective and more humane that harsh bits.
The horse of Santiago was gray because he had a dark colored nose. To be an official white horse...the horse has to have a pink nose.
If you mean noseband, it is the strip of leather, nylon or rope that goes around the horse's nose on the bridle. It is also called a caveson and there are many varying types including a flash or figure8 noseband. A bridle does not necessary have to have a noseband - many western headstalls do not.

Neither a snaffle nor a flash is a bridle. A snaffle is a bit and a flash is a noseband or cavison. A regular cavison is a simple strap the goes around the horse's nose almost half way between the eye and nostril. It buckles under the horse's jaw. A flash is worn lower on the nose and is used to prevent the horse from opening his mouth and 'avoiding' the bit and/or making the bit more effective.
Same as us - by breathing in air, which is delivered to the lungs to be exchanged with carbon dioxide, which the horses breathe out.
