It's a scoring play immediately following a touchdown - the team on offense tries to advance the ball into the endzone for two points as opposed to kicking the ball between the uprights on the goal for one point.

No. The extra point is what a team attempts after scoring a touchdown.
It symbolizes the person scoring the touchdown is "feeding" his teammates or ensuring when he "eats"(scoring the touchdown), they all, as a team, eat. Hope that explains it!!
You mean the extra point a team tries to get after a touchdown, right? It's one point, so if the team makes a touchdown and the point, they would've made 7 points total :)

by throwing a ball and scoring a touchdown
The team scoring a field goal or touchdown is normally required to kick off to the opponent regardless of the results of the try. In high school the team sored upon can choose to kick off but in 35 years of officiating I have never seen this happen.
All touchdowns are worth six points. It doesn't matter how the touchdown is scored, via a pass, a run, or on a kickoff or punt return. After the touchdown, the scoring team receives a "point after touchdown" attempt for one or two extra points.
