A hopper is like a holder a hopper usually holds 180-200 paintballs, a hopper feeds paintballs down into the chamber of your gun were the bolt can force it out the barrel.
I strongly recomend you invest some money in a good electronic hopper.
A tank holds air which is like food for your paintball gun, it is used to operate all the parts in your gun, there are three types of air used in a paintball gun there is co2, which is not good for your gun because it might freeze your gun up and god forbid u might get frost bite but is rare, there is compressed air which is the best for your gun, then there is nitrogen which is better then co2 but worse then compressed air.
Definitely a tank before a hopper. If you go on Zephyr Paintball they have a 20 oz C02 tank for only 14 dollars and a proto primo hopper for also 14 dollars.
A paintball gun, unlike airsoft or real firearms will have a hopper on top, and will have a co2 tank sticking out of the back.
Check all insides of gun, hopper and tank. Hope this helps

Yes. you may need a neck adapter though.
A compressed C02 tank or High Pressure Air tank propels the paintball.
