T) Broadcast versus Replicate component. Anyone could u plz explain ?

Broadcast and replicate behavior varies with flow type and default flow type is different for both. It's always difficult to remember it unless you try all scenarios. On a short note when you connect this component between same depth, default flow type for broadcast is all to all and it multiplies the data.  I would suggest to read help and simultaneously run trials. Primary motive of broadcast is data parallelism and it duplicates data in each partition flow. As I said it behaves differently based on flow type and you need to run it to get correct understanding.

T) When does Abinito creates work directories where it stores the temp files? Does it create when the sort component uses a particular layout for the first time or it has to be created separately?

Which ever path is provided in layout option, will be used to crate intermediate files.
