Welcome to the RPC!
Plenty of links and brains to meet all your lore needs here on the RPC, all you need to do it a bit of searching, and if that turns up nothing, make a post with your questions. The lot of us would be more than happy to give you what insight we have.
That being said, as far as Linkshells and Free Companies go, think of it this way. A linkshell is a chat channel. You can hand out "linkpearls" which lore-wise are literally just round pearls that serve as a means of communication across long distances in Eorzea. You can speak into them, and hear out of them. Linkshells are just basically a large network of linkpearls that are connected.
A Free Company is your standard "guild" from other games. They can be leveled up to get perks for those in the free company, they can have their own specific housing which can also give perks to members of the free company, among other things.
Thing is, you can only be in one free company at a time. You can have multiple linkshells at one time, however.
