Which brass instrument is built with rotary valves?
I'm no brass instrument, but rotary valves are used for several instruments. French horns all seem to have them. They're pretty common on tubas as well. There are even some rotary valve trumpets out there. I don't know, though, anything about the advantages and/or disadvantages of rotary valves as opposed to the piston valves that seem to be more common for most brass instruments.

Is it true that valves are pistons which when they are pressed produce a wider range of notes?
yes and no. yes, they do create a wider range of notes by giving the air different piping to travel through. and there are actually two types of valves: piston and rotary. the piston valves are pretty self explanatory- think of the valves in a carburetor for example). the other kind is the rotary valve which turns instead of going up and down. this kind is controlled by strings and springs.

What is the difference between plug valves and globe valves with plug?
A Plug Valve is a Globe Valve. Very generally speaking there are two major catagories of Industrial Process Control Valves, Sliding Stem and Rotary. Globe Bodies valves fall into the category of Sliding Stem Valves. Butterfly and Ball valves fall into the category of Rotary valves. However there are what is referred as Rotary Plug Valves, whereby a partial sphere has a shaft eccentrically mounted, that rotates into and out of a metal or composition seat acting as a plug. Most plug valves are sliding stem.
