Royalties are percentages of sales that are distributed to the people involved in the production of the album, DVD, or whatever the item is. You may also hear the term "points" on an album. This is again referring to a percentage of the profits.
When a CD is created many people are involved. Obviously you have the artist, but then you have producers, engineers, labels, and a number of other people that can be responsible for the album actually coming together. All of those people are given points on the record. For a person that co-wrote 1 song on the album, they will get very little (maybe nothing) but the artists and labels will make a bit more.

Not really. The PRS collects fees and distributes them, after taking its own payment. A piece of music would generate a higher payment if it has had more air time on a scale decided by the PRS and music industry.
