sudo - super user do, executes a command as though root issued the command
chmod - change mode, changes read and write and executable permissions on a file
they aren't linux specific, they are UNIX or POSIX specific, any POSIX compliant system will use those commands
linux does not use the suffix like ".exe" at all, it does not care what the suffix is to determine what kind of a file it is although most GUI's in linux are set up to send the most often used file types based on suffix to the appropriate app to run them or work on them
linux commands --->
Linux Command Directory: Index
keep in mind some commands are shell specific or even system specific
you can also use the "man" pages which is short for manual page which will give you details about a particular command, its built in documentation found on most linux systems, although some distros like ubuntu use abbreviated man pages to save space
to use them simply open a terminal and type man <command> , for example if you wanted to know about chmod just typing man chmod will give you a listing all about chmod and its options
your also going to need to learn abut whatever shell you use, typically its BASH or the "bourne again shell" , a quick list of its commands can be found just by typing either help or a ? then hitting return
the various shells available like BASH are also scripting languages which allow you to write all sorts of applications, its like DOS only with much much more power
