Answer 1

These are keys that refer to entries in the i18n JSON files. entity.action.edit is in the global.json file for each language you have installed, and looks something like this:

{
    ...
    "entity": {
        "action": {
            ...
            "edit": "Edit"
            ...
        }
    }
    ...
}
