What are the differences between a discount broker and a regular broker? "Discount" implies a price difference... but why can they be cheaper than regular brokers??

Discount brokers do not give advice regarding investments whereas a full service broker will. If you're comfortable doing your own research and making your own investment decisions then that would be where the discount broker would come in. If not, a full service broker is most likely the type you should go through.
