What is the process of mineral rich water seeping around sediment and fusing the sediment pieces together called?
This is called cementation.
What does pressure alone do to sediment?
When pressure is applied to pieces of sediment, compaction takes place. Compaction is the process in which pieces of sediment are under severe pressure and it becomes solid rock. Therefore, pressure turns pieces of sediment into sedimentary rock.
What is another word for small pieces of soil that are carried in erosion?
Particulates in wind erosion, or the "load" in water erosion, are called sediment.

Deposition
What is the name of the process that breaks large pieces of rock into small piece of sediment?

What is the Fancy scientific names for particles of rock being carried along in water?
I would consider tiny pieces of rock carried by water to be sediment. Sediment is generally clay or sand particles, but any type of rock ground into fine particles can be carried by water. This may include igneous-type rocks (those that come from around volcanoes and the bottom of the ocean).
