I don't really think there is a difference, but maybe the difference is that in pre-algebra you learn and practice the basic foudations, like the different steps to solve an equation, and what is a equation, and stuff like that. Begining algebra is where you practice actually solving the easier types of algebra equations.
A harder version of algebra 1
Adv. is accelerated most likely.
Algebra 1 is a class/course that is on a higher level than Algebra.
Pre-algebra is essentially the basics of algebra. Algebra can be tough for many, so as a way to break the ice, you (ussually) take a pre-algebra course before algebra itself. Algebra is a very large subject, spanning multiple years of courses in most (if not all) schools. After pre-algebra, you have to work with many algebraic equations in the later courses, which cannot be understood without learning the basics that are taught in pre-algebra.
The difference of algebra and algebra 1 is that in algebra they teach you the basics. For example, they teach you about variables, graphs, how to find slopes. In algebra 1 they start using equations and and teach you how to work longer equations and all that jazz.
Yes. An equation has an "=" sign.
Both have a value

Algebra is a form (or subset) of mathematics.
As far as I know it's an expression because it doesn't have an equal sign. That's the main difference between expressions and equations.
An expression does not equate to anything. An equation is equal to something. Expression: x+2 Equation: x+4=2x Equivalent expressions: x+2 and 2x-2 if x=4 Equivalent equations: x+4=2x and -x+10=2x if x=4
Only the word "operator"

algebra 1a is the first part of algebra 1 and algebra 1b is the second part. :)
