Check out the top link. It is a PowerPoint presentation. I know nothing about economics, so this is all I can contribute.

2. I too Googled and it's macroeconomics

I - S = the investment/saving account; the two do not have to be equal, but if S > I, there is money for other things.
G - T = the infamous government budget deficit or surplus. G-T>0 => deficit.
X - M = the equally infamous current account or trade deficit or surplus

3. It means government deficit (G-T)= non government deficit

The private domestic balance (I – S) – positive if in deficit, negative if in surplus.
The Budget Deficit (G – T) – negative if in surplus, positive if in deficit.
The Current Account balance (or trade deficit) (X – M) – positive if in surplus, negative if in deficit.
