Is this a Cud? And if so is this considered a BIE? Looks like a Cud to me, but it in no way resembles the letter i.

Your coin is not a Cud. A Cud is a die break that includes the rim. Your coin is a BIE. BIE is a catchall term for any die break or chip that happens at the word LIBERTY of Lincoln cents and does not have to be between the B and the E.

So a Cud is only found along the rim? I am new to all of this, just trying to learn as I go.

Yes, it must connect to the rim. Anything else is a die chip.

Could someone explain the difference between a die break and a die chip? Are they related? Is the difference just in the size of the affected area? If so at what point does a chip become a break?

A chip off a die is internal, A Cud is from a part of the out area of the die that had broken off the die.
