When you retweet it means that you are basically "retweeting someone else's tweet. So let's say... Joe Smith said "OMG I love pizza", you could retweet it so that it shows up on your profile as a tweet.
A reply is basically when you "comment" or tweet back to another twitter user.
Anyone can see your retweets, and the person you replied to can see the reply. Also, your Twitter followers can see your replys, but only if they are following the person you replied to.
Sorry if this was confusing...
