The republic in Rome was the time before the military rulers like Julius Caesar took power. It was a time in Rome's history when the people made the choices for the government. It was much like today's democracy.
Roman Republic refers to the Roman history period between 509 BC and 27 BC when Rome and its territories were not ruled by kings or emperors. Rome was governed by elected senators during the period.
Rule by the rich is called oligarchy. The term is applied to any society which is ruled by the rich, not just the Roman republic. It is a term which comes from Greek.
All Roman officials normally served a term of one year. After Julius Caesar's death, the second triumvirate was formed and that was the longest governing term of the same men in the republic.

Once appointed the term was indefinite but could be terminated for malfeasance or other crimes.
There really is no major difference. The Roman Empire was the empire itself, lasting from 27 BCE-476 AD (1453 for the Eastern half, which came to be the Byzantine Empire). In the beginning the Roman empire was an autocracy, headed by emperors. It then later turned into a republic, which is when people use the term Roman Republic or Republic of Rome. This is actually where the modern day type of republic comes from, Rome.
It's a tossup between Julius Caesar and Octavian. Julius Caesar was the last single leader of the Roman republic. However the republic did not abruptly end at his death. The second triumvirate was formed, which was a legally appointed trio with each man having equal power. When the triumvirate fell apart and Octavian came out on top, he technically became the last leader of the republic, making it much easier for him to form the principate.
The Senate was one of the governing bodies of the Roman Republic and of the Roman Empire.
Dictators were appointed for a term of 6 months.

The Roman consuls were elected officials of the Roman republic who served a term of 1 year at a time and inherited imperiumfrom the kings, meaning that they had the power to command the Roman army and the power to kill outside of the Roman pomerium (boundaries of the city). There were always two elected and neither had more power than the other. They were also called chief magistrates.
