Sorry for being a noob but i am very new to this
I know a few BASH commands but i see ppl using commands which i never heard of in BASH are these commands in other programs like commands inside srcds or am i just retarded. I mean i was messin with linux on ma pc the other day because it didnt work and i found the cat command reads files. but i cant find a BASH command for running files do you have to make a file executable by using a bash command i know how to run some files you can just type in the name and it runs. like sax2 runs sax2 is this the same over ssh. arrrrrrrg help me plz.

./thename
or
chmod +x thename
sax2 is a command put into the system when you installed it (or i think so). You can even see advanecd options for this application with sax2 --help (i think). Bash scripts (although im really not sure) are often normal commands, but with the first line containing #!/bin/sh to make the whole thing work. To run a bash script, you do ./name-of-script.sh and it does what's in the file. It is possible to do more advanced scripts (i think), but you don't need to go jumping into that if you don't want.

Sort of. in the case of setting up steam to install srcds or hlds that would be the case to make it an executable by using chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin then running ./hldsupdatetool.bin at your prompt.

BASH (Bourne Again SHell) is just a shell prompt. SSH (Secure Shell Host) is just the protocol and daemon to connect to your *NIX server, kinda like telnet which windows used. Not many game providers allow SSH access for security purposes, but dedicated server providers do. If you get a dedicated server, try to get dedicated bandwidth, 100mbit umetered means you have no limit to how much you use interms of transfering data, but you're not guarenteed to get near 100mbps like you are dedicated bandwidth.
