The Sacraments are efficacious signs of God's grace given to us which were instituted by Jesus. This includes things like getting baptized, receiving the Eucharist, or being ordained as a priest. There are 7 Sacraments.
The phrase "communion with Rome" is generally lingo that refers to whether a sect of Christianity recognizes the authority of the pope.
The question about the Latin Mass is a little nuanced. The Second Vatican Council made changes to have Mass said in the vernacular of the region rather than in Latin, which was a big change. However, some religious orders or rites were permitted to continue saying the old Mass in Latin. Other exceptions exist and have been allowed too.
or maybe an "at all" could be added?
