The Decathlon is comprised of Ten (10) events. The Pentathlon is comprised of Five (5) events.There are a combined fifteen (15) events. However, the pentathlon's five events are also encompassed within the decathlon as well. Therefore, technically there are only Ten (10) unique events between the two competitions.

Track and fields
That is correct. Track events are won by who can run the fastest (timing) and field events are won by who can throw the furthest or jump the furthest/highest (distance/height).
Track events are running on a track ie. 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 800m, 1500m and hurdles. For 100m you would run one quarter of the way around the track. Field events are events that don't take place on the track ie. long jump, javelin, shot-put, triple jump and high jump.
