<blockquote>In its 2nd Chapter, the book recommends getting the SDK for doing custom modelling. Do I need this and why? Whereas the article does not emphasize much on this. Any comments would be helpful!</blockquote>

The SDK referenced in the book is now obsolete. You should now use the Maven based SDK, see http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/maven-sdk/tutorial/tutorial.html.

<blockquote>
I have some confusion regarding the differences between Alfresco 5.0 and 4.2?
In specific, for Alfresco 5.0, what are the (alfresco) applications that I can deploy (or make aware) this custom type and its aspect, so that these applications are aware of our custom type and aspect.</blockquote>

There are very few differences between the two versions, at least at a high level. In 5.0, Alfresco Explorer goes away and you are left with Alfresco Share.

<blockquote>What is the difference between the (Alfresco) site and space? Are they same?</blockquote>

A space is a folder. A site is a special type of folder. The Alfresco Share client renders site folders using a team or project collaboration metaphor.

<blockquote>Space is said to be another name for folder. Is this correct?</blockquote>
Yes

<blockquote>Would it be appropriate to create a site for our own application? Can I create a user in Alfresco that can access this created site?</blockquote>
Yes, you can create a user that has access to a site. But if that user isn't going to use discussions, wikis, calendars, or data lists, or if that user is really just going to access the repository from an API, it might be better to simply create a folder in the root of the repository and restrict it to your user.

<blockquote>
Inside this site, can we create a space (or folder) or multiple folders to hold documents, each folder representing one of our entities?</blockquote>
Yes, the "documentLibrary" folder within a Share site's root folder is functionality equivalent to any other folder in the repository, so it can contain folders and documents.

<blockquote>How can I associate the custom document type with this (Alfresco) site that I am planning to create?</blockquote>

I don't understand this question.
