Still trying to wrap my head around exactly how the fediverse works. I understand it is decentralized. Are kbin and lemmy somehow intermingled? Meaning am I able to view lemmy content here on kbin and interact with it without having to create an account on beehaw or whatever?...

In the vast majority of cases, yes. Some servers might not decide to talk to each other, but that's not a kbin/lemmy thing, but a fediverse thing in general and not very prevalent.
What exactly is the difference between the upvote (and downvote) button and boost? Is boost just upvote but moreso?
Boosts are used to brodcast posts to your followers. The same as in mastodon or retweets on twitter.
Is there a "save" function like reddit had, where you can bookmark posts to your profile?
I don't think there's a specific feature for that yet. But if you look at your profile, you can see your own boosts. So you could ise it as a pseudo-bookmark in the meantime (although there's still a bug in that boost section of the profile which shoumd get sorted the next couple days)
Is there an android app(s) for kbin?
No, not yet. I think there are some plans for a progressive web app, but no mobile app proper is being developed yet as far as I know
Not entirely sure how possible this is, but it's a pretty large pitfall I just discovered. If someone links a thread in a comment and I click it, my browser will open the thread in their instance, not mine. Therefore, if I want to interact with the post they linked, I have to copy it, paste it into my instance's search bar, find...
I'm not sure how feasible that is to do server-side. Mastodon for example only does this with a browser plug-in (or in its apps,), so I assume that would also ve required here.
New user with a few questions I guess?

We should be able to click links on other lemmy/kbin instances and open them in our own instance
