What's the difference between a wallet and an account?

Your put your questions into the thread dedicated to Sparrow thus I guess they are relevant to it.

Sparrow is the client which has the ability to manage multiple wallets and accounts.

Entities that define the given wallet are: policy which may be either Single Signature or Multy Signature, Script Type, Keystore determined in fact by SEED and added by the way you opt.

Each of those wallets may have in Sparrow up to 10 accounts which differ by 'account' index in its derivation path m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' /.


When you create the wallet first Sparrow creates account with index=0

Then you can add to this wallet other accounts.

Can a seed phrase create multiple master private keys?


Nope



Can a seed phrase create multiple master private keys? Is that what accounts are? Are they master keys? So it would be same thing as creating a sparrow wallet on a different computer?




 Is that what accounts are?

nope, see above

And a wallet is an xpub?

xpub is the major component of the given wallet but they are not the same


When you go to send tab, you can send from addresses that are in that xpub aka wallet?

Those addresses are defined by the particular account  of the given wallet

Or can you combine from multiple xpubs aka wallets in the send tab?

Nope, no way to do it.
