Yeah, they're great, but it's not difficult to understand.
Read the Manual [0] ;)

No.
The line "thunderbird & &>/dev/null" means: You start thunderbird in the
background, so that you can use your terminal again and write every
output (normal output and errors) to /dev/null [1].

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev/null

The line "urxvt -T "alsamixer" -e sh -c "alsamixer"& &>/dev/null" means,
that you start a terminal (urxvt) in the background with "alsamixer" as
title and alsamixer as program. Output will be written to /dev/null.
