What is gesso paint?
Gesso is a primer. Artists sometimes apply it to a surface before painting on it. In fact, gesso looks a lot like paint. Originally, gesso only came in white. Artists put it on canvas, wood, or other surfaces before creating a painting with oil paint or acrylics. Gesso makes the surface a little stiffer. It prevents paint from soaking into the support (canvas, paper, wood, etc.), and it gives the surface a little more texture (called "tooth"), so the paint sticks better. Please see related link.
Should you paint window and door moldings white or stain them for a natural wood look?
That depends on...1) personal taste... Some folks like painted mouldings - then there is the whole, paint all mouldings one colour (white or off white) or paint the mouldings to match the colour of the room debate, others prefer natural/stained wood.2) decorating style... If the home uses a lot of wood (paneling, wainscoting, cabinetry, hardwood flooring, etc) you may want to use stained wood. If the house is painted or wallpapered you may want to paint your mouldings (see the above on the colour debate).3) the kind of mouldings you can afford/find. Composite materials, pre-primed, and inexpensive finger-joint woods should be painted. Real wood, such as clear pine, oak and mahogany (if you can find it) can be either stained or just sanded and top coated with a top quality poly.

How do you avoid pin holes when applying gesso on wood as I can not have any pin holes as I use the aqueous paint egg tempera?
To minimize pinholes start with a fine grained wood. Let the gesso cool and apply it when it becomes thick but not solid. Brush it out in alternating directions with decreasing pressure. Any pinholes that do appear can be filled by dampening the surface and rubbing gently with a fingertip, a cloth or very fine sandpaper. Keep on top of this as you build layers of gesso to avoid pinholes popping through from below.

What are the differences between clear gesso and white gesso, and how do they affect the outcome of an art project?
Clear gesso is transparent and allows the surface underneath to show through, while white gesso is opaque and covers the surface completely. Clear gesso is often used for sealing and protecting the surface, while white gesso provides a solid base for painting. The choice between the two can impact the final look and texture of the artwork.
