These are two different modes to change or add things mainly in system. Install from sdcard option is used when you have a zip file of the package you want to change or add. While Odin works only for samsung smartphones. If you have samsung smartphone, odin mode is the BEST. It decreases the chances of corrupting (a.k.a. bricking) your phone. Else you will have to use the install from sdcard option.
You can downgrade your android firmware. Just search and download appropriate package according to the firmware you want and the device you have.
Stock tom is the operating system (a.k.a. rom) that shipped with your phone. While custom rom is developed by people who are mostly not related in the development of original rom.
Custom rom has some disadvantages BUT has many advantages too. You can get more details on google so try search on it. If you need any help just post here.

Hope i helped :) .

Yes you can IF the OS is released for your device officially. If it is not then you might search for custom OS (ROM) on google or here. Search it with your device name ONLY!
And the OS name is usually written on the zip file or whatever file you downloaded. Or it is written in the website you downloaded it from :) .

P.S. Please dont call me master whatsoever.

Hope i helped :) .
