"Tab" is short for tablature, a method of music notation for fretted string instruments.
Instead of traditional Western music notation which uses a staff to represent the relative "highness" or "lowness" of pitches, tablature actually represents the individual strings of the instrument, with a number or letter indicating the fret to be pressed for each note. Tablature is most associated with guitar today, but actually dates back to the Renaissance lute and related instruments. Tablature may also be used by mandolin, ukulele, etc.
Tablature has the advantage of being able to indicate not only what notes to play, but how to finger them, which is critical for learning complex guitar licks; thus its popularity in the self-teaching guitar community. It is also easier to write and share without specialized music publishing software.

What does the phrase sanctus seraphin minensis fecit 1754 insrcibed in your violin mean?
The inscription 'Sanctus Serathin utinensis tecit venetijs anno 1730' contains some errors. The words most likely are 'Seraphim', 'fecit', and 'venetii'. So the correct inscription is the following: 'Sanctus Seraphim utinensis fecit Venetii anno 1730'. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'Sanctus' means 'Saint'; 'Seraphim' means 'Seraphim'; 'utinensis' means 'tools'; 'fecit' means 'made'; 'Venetii' means 'Venice'; and 'anno' means 'year'. The meaning therefore is as follows: Made with the tools of St Seraphim, Venice, 1730.

When a string of a violin is played with a bow the violin vibrates in?
The string itself when played with a bow would not create a loud sound if not for the body of the violin. The majority of the sound comes from the vibration of the strings on the bridge, which transfers the vibration to the body of the instrument. Inside the instrument, beneath the bridge under the E-string there is a stick of wood called a sound post wedged vertically between the front and back which carries the vibration to the wood on the underside. Beneath the G-string of the bridge there is a bar that runs lengthwise on the inside of the front panel called a bass bar, which helps to distribute the lower pitched vibrations. The instrument is made of a dried wood that is cut thinly, the thickness and density of the wood, as well as the shaping of the chamber create the characteristic of the instruments sound. This and other more subtle aspects of the construction. The bow is not the cause of the sound.
Is a violin hand made in 1790 with the name Stradivarius worth anything?
First, all violins made before the 20th century are hand made, and most today still are.
Antonius Stradivarius lived from 1644-1737. If you had one of the Cremona Violins made by Antonius it would be worth several hundred thousand dollars. Even copies are still worth several thousand dollars.
His sons, Francesco Stradivarius (1671-1743) and Omobono Stradivarius (1679-1742), worked with him and continued the craft after his death, and they aren't worth quite as much, but are still highly sought after.
What you probably have is a copy made by Ferdinandus Gagliano. He was alive during that time-frame and made violins branded with Stradivarius. I can't give you an exact price, but hopefully someone else can take this information and give you a more proper assessment. If I were in possession of it, I wouldn't sell it for less than $3,000 USD

What is the pegs on a violin made out of?
Violin pegs can be made from almost any type of wood, to plastic, to even metal. A more solid wood is recommended for pegs though, since changes in temperature and humidity cause the wood to swell when warm and humid and shrink in cold and dry areas. Because the swelling and shrinking can cause problems with tuning, it is again recommended to use something that will not change very much.
