Stapled = saddle stitched. Sequential = perfect bound or smythe sewn, etc. (anything with a spine) that requires trimmed leaves rather than folded signatures.
In a saddle stitched piece, your pages must be in fours. In a bound piece, they only need to be an even number, although fours in that instance are the most economical as well.
The difference between 2-up and 3-up is how many signatures or leaves will fit on a sheet. This of course will depend on the trim size of the piece and the size of paper it's being printed on.
I believe the way the Print Booklet option works varies from one printer to the next. I've seen some printers, probably similar to what you have, which run the A side, and then you have to manually flip the sheets to print the B side (in commercial printing, these would be called forms, i.e. the arrangement of pages on a press sheet, which is printed one side and then either completed as a work & turn or a work & back depending on how leaves or signatures are arranged).
