A 6-point socket has a "nut shaped" hole in the end with six sides so it contacts all sides of the nut/bolt/drain plug. A 12-point socket has 12 little triangles in the hole in the end (like teeth) that only catch the corners of the nut/bolt/plug - great for rounding off fasteners. A 6-point socket is ideal; a box-end (12-point) wrench might work; don't even take an open end wrench anywhere near the drain plug.
The torx head is the six-pointed-star shaped fasteners that you see all over a Saab for smaller screws etc. My 9000 had a Torx screwdriver in the tool kit (does a 9k come with a tool kit?).
