Heartbeat CRON
Heartbeat is a script and acts like a scheduler - schedules and executes tasks. It does not import / export all products every time it is executed. Heartbeat command needs to be executed periodically by your server. If heartbeat is not working - no tasks are being executed.
Heartbeat Time-out
Determines the maximum duration of Heartbeat execution.
Batch
A sub-set of products to be exported / imported. For example if you are going to import 5000 products, than Heartbeat will process this task in batches of 500 (in total 10 Heartbeats to process all 5000 products).

Task
Tasks are scheduled and executed by Heartbeat CRON. You can set how often import/export task needs to be executed in your Profile preferences.
