What are mini-Pci slots used for?
Its not mini PCI, its just PCI, they just look mini compared to a PCI-E. It depends on which PCI slot it is, there are tons of different cards that are for PCI. Sound, wireless, modem. Look at the spec's for the motherboard to see what slots you have, then you know what cards you can use.
Can you plug sata discs into sata 2 connectors on motherboard?
Yes. You can add as many hard drives, or other sata devices (DVD burners etc) as will fit into your case, or until you have no more sata connectors free.
What holds the circuit board?
On modern PCs this is the PCI or PCI-e connectors. At one end, the cards are secured by a metal bracket that is clamped, usually by a screw, onto the PC case frame. This bracket also has the external connectors for the card, like 3.5mm jacks or VGA connectors, etc. Along the inside edge the card electrically plugs into the PCI/PCI-e connector. On the opposite edge or the outside edge of the card on some are internal connectors, like SATA connectors or extra power connectors for power hungry video cards.
What hold all the other circuit boards?

What are expansion cards that plug into electrical connectors on the motherboard called?
PCI
Mini PCI Express slots have pins on the edge connector?
52
Is there any way to make a device which uses PCIe x16 plug into a Mini PCI slot?
I don't think so. There are mini PCI-E to PCI-E adapters which would convert the mini to an x1 card, it seems to be very device specific however. I would generally depend on the device - in this case, I found adapters for Wifi cards.
Where could one purchase a mini PCI?
One can purchase a mini PCI when one goes to stores like Canadian Tire, Home Hardware. This adapter can also be purchased at websites like Amazon and eBay.
