Generally it's the elimination before the money - i.e., 170 players get paid, 171st is the bubble boy.

Yes, it's just calling.
When you float, you're intending to attempt to take the pot on a later street, frequently by stealing (i.e., in position, call flop cbet, villain checks turn, hero bets with or without a made hand). Peeling doesn't imply an intention to steal on a later street, frequently we're peeling the flop to see if our equity improves on the turn.

You should play tight in the beginning, wait for good hands and take chips off donkeys. As the tournament progresses the blinds will catch up and you'll have to loosen up, stealing blinds when in position will also help in the latter stages.
Also, don't be disheartened if you nearly miss the money or get beat by a hand inferior to yours, this'll happen a lot of times as the donks will be willing to shove with ATC!
