on the back wheel of the bike is a cassette that consists of a bunch of rings with teeth. The 9 speed has 9 of them. The 10 speed has ten of them.
A compact double is a relatively new bike configuration.

not at all, but the diff between the 9 and 10 speed might have more to do with the age of the bike (for some reason a lot of manufacturers are going to 10 speeds now)

Mainly just because that is what is available in the newest technologies - you can still find some 9 speed equipment new, but it is becoming more scarce.
