Airbrushing is a technique that uses a painting tool of the same name. For a beginner painter this is probably not the route you would want to go, since it takes some experience and the tools required are spendy.
Acryllic paints are just a type of paint that seems to be preferred among hobbyists. It's pretty cheap and also water based, so it's really easy to clean up. You should be able to pickup some inexpensive acryllic paints at craft stores like Michaels or Joann Fabrics.
I'm definitely not an expert, but the best piece of advice I can give you is to thin down your paints with a few drops of water before applying them. You may have to put on a couple coats of paint but the end result will look much better since the thinned down paint won't result in as much visible brush strokes.
Good luck.
