Reverb is a summation of all the early reflections within an environment. Basically put, a sound source will bounce off the walls and reflect back a little later than the first initial sound. This creates a simulation of "space".

Delay is when the ear hears a completely distinct seperate sound, so for this to happen the time between the initial sound and the reflection needs to be greater than around 40ms (milli seconds, 0.04 seconds).

Both occur naturally in life and both can be created artificially.

DO you understand that bit?

You asked in your original post "whats the difference" so I told you.

Regarding the other bit, there is no rules, you add each to your taste.

If you want delays to be in time you simply add them in so they have a fractional relationship with the BPM.

Here is a delay calculator:
