It is a lens that mounts on the end of your camera lens. Some are wide angle adaptors (0.75x is an example) and some are multipliers (1.5x or 2x) which move you half the distance to the subject you are shooting. They can be handy adaptors, but can also reduce critical focus in your pictures, or degrade sharp focus. There are also lens adaptors for digital SLR cameras to use lenses from another type of camera. A lens adaptor could also screw onto the end of a lens to allow filters of another size to be mounted in front of the lens. ----
Just an added note: Although the principle is the same, not all adapters mount on the end of the camera lens. Some adapters mount to threads on the body which may be hidden by a removable ring. So the camera may not always appear to have threads when it does, if you know where to look. Check the manual.
The Canon AE1 lens will not fit a Canon digital. You can buy an adapter that will allow the lens to work in manual focus mode on the digital camera.
For a Canon digital camera, a 50mm camera lens is just about right. You can also use other lenses depending on what kind of digital camera you are using.
Yes you can use a SLR lens as an attachment on some digital camera. You will have to check the camera to see if there is an attachment that is available on the camera.

You would have to use a Minolta SLR digital camera with a Minolta lens. However, don't automatically assume an old Minolta lens will work on a digital camera. You need to determine whether the digital camera accepts interchangeable lenses and whether it accepts the specific Minolta SLR lens and mount you have. There is no real generic answer to this question.
It focuses the light entering the camera onto the sensor.

A lens, viewfinder, and shutter are the main parts of a camera. If it is a digital camera it will have more parts than a manual camera.
