They are Creature Permanents while on the battlefield, Creature Spells while being cast on the stack, and Creature Cards at any other time. So when a player pays the mana cost on a creature card, putting it on the stack, it is now a spell and can be countered by anything that counters spells. After the spell resolves, it is just simply a Creature Permanent.

Creature cards are cast as spells, and come into play as creatures when they resolve. So when you cast a creature, and it is on the stack, it is now a 'Creature Spell' for the purposes of cards that trigger from, or can counter them.

Spells are cards that you play from your hand, except for lands. Abilities are their own thing. Lands are put onto the battlefield immediately upon being played; playing them cannot be responded to. Spells (and also activated and triggered abilities) can be responded to by instants. Cards with flash and activated abilities may be used at any time a player could cast an instant, so both of those can also respond to spells or other abilities. You can tell which ability is an activated ability by checking to see if it has the colon character (:) in the text. A triggered ability has "when", "whenever", or "at" in the text. All other abilities are considered static abilities. Activated or triggered abilities that add mana to your mana pool are also considered mana abilities and cannot be responded to, similar to playing a land.

Spell cards and Magic cards are the same. The reason for the confusion is because Magic cards were changed to Spell cards during the release of Magician's Force.

Abilities are not spells, but note that creatures and all other cards (but lands) are only spells in the moment they are cast and on the stack. So if you cast a creature spell, it's not a spell after it resolves.

Are magic and spell cards the same in Yu-Gi-Oh TGC?

Yes, they are. Back around the time when the game was first released, green bordered cards were called Magic Cards. However this term is actually a trademark belonging to Wizards of the Coast, publisher of Magic the Gathering. Since both products are a similar nature, this infringed on the trademark, so Konami changed Magic Card to Spell Card, then Magic Ruler to Spell Ruler. In game terms, Magic Card and Spell Card are totally interchangable, different names for the same thing. If something instructs you to affect a Magic Card, it will apply to Spell Cards too, and vice versa.

How do you kick a creature in magic the gathering?

A creature that can be kicked will have either a Kicker cost or a Multikicker cost. These are additional costs, paid when the creature spell is cast. If you paid the kicker cost, when the spell resolves, the creature is considered to have been kicked, and will gain any applicable effects.

Does the effect of hostility in the game of magic the gathering extend to creatures?

Hostility has a replacement effect for when your 'spell' deals damage to the opponent. Creatures are indeed summoned by casting a 'Creature Spell' but when this resolves, it is simply now just a 'creature'. Any damage they deal, effect or battle, is not 'spell' damage. I don't know if there are any situations where a Creature Spell can deal damage while it remains a spell. Damage dealt when creature spells are cycled, etc, are damage from an ability, not from a spell.
