Yes, commands in bundles, for more information:

That depends on the actual situation. Basically a TM command lets you  
do what you can do in Terminal, and you can e.g. request input via  
dialogs.

The bundles are not tied to file extension per se. Instead each  
bundle item has a scipr selector, which allow different bundles to  
provide functionality to for mixed-sources, for more info see:

There is a manual :)

Also, this mailing list is not intended for usage questions. There is  
the normal textmate list for that:
