There are other shells.

Yes, there are more terminals. Each desktop has its own one, and there
are other independent ones, like xterm.
There are also terminals in Windows, created to connect to Linux/Unix
machines, like putty.
There are things similar to terminals, like minicom, that run inside a
terminal, made to connect to other machines via serial port, and there
it can run a shell which you view on your machine. Or the traditional
kermit.
Basically a “terminal” program emulates the text only old console of old
computers. With additions.

Basically it interprets what you type, and does the things you tell it
to do, like starting another program.

Because it is a hidden file. That’s what the dot means 
Also, deleting the file deletes what you did on the previous session,
which has probably be already read into memory into the current session,
and thus will be written again to the history file.
