What is the difference between the 8x42 or 10x42

The first number; that is the 8 or the 10 refers to the magnification value. So, with a 10x42 you can bring things closer than with an 8x42. The 42 refers to the aperture or the size of the opening in the front element. The larger the aperture, the more light and things appear brighter. Choosing really depends on what you're using the binocular for and in what kind of light.

I know nothing about binoculars. Am looking for small,l lightweight to watch granddaughter at indoor gymnastics meets. They move all around.

these binoculars magnify things 10x greater than your normal vision. For an indoor gymnastics event I would look at something in the 3x - 8x magnification the 42 refers to the field of view. This might be okay for a gym depending on where you are sitting and size of the gym.

Is there a screw port on the bottom to attach a tripod?

Just bought this from Dicks, you have to remove the rear nikon cap to reveal the screwport, there is then an adapter that must be used to attach to tripod. Read in the fine prints that the 10 x 50 comes with the adapter not the 10 x 42

Is this binocualars appropriate for watching birds and wildlife in Alaska?

These are perhaps more appropriate for wildlife viewing than astronomy.
