What is the difference between (1) a backlink and (2) a text search of the site? 1) Link:www.mysite.com
2) "www.mysite.com" or "http://www.mysite.com" I have zero backlinks, and 30+ results when i search for the site. Some of them are decent PR5/6 sites, so they should be completed crawled,indexed, parsed. Im also not indexed in google, well after a month i was for 2 days, but its now gone again.

A backlink is a genuine link to your site - another site will have clickable link. A search of another site might find a paragraph stating
"And another good site is www.his-site.com" That's a text match but not a backlink.
it doesn't seem to count for as much...

Will Google treat internal links differently if you use "http://www.mydomain.com/index.html" oppose to pointing to the root with no domain "/index.htm"?

I'll leave it to others to disagree, but I believe the accepted feeling is no, it makes no difference.
There's a school of thought that says relative URLs are easier to maintain, there's a school of thought that says absolute URLs make the faults caused by erroneous links less likely to propagate.
But as to the Googlebot, I believe it makes no difference. You *are* advised not to mix /a/b and/a/b/index.html, if only for your own sanity!
