Very quickly, DDR2 is supposed to be twice as fast as DDR but it's unlikely that you'd notice any difference in real terms.

Celeron M is simply the mobile version of the Celeron chip, it consumes less power.

Whilst I'd prefer a Toshiba over an emachines any day, the emachines seems the best deal here. If you stick another 256Mb of memory in it, you'll end up with quite a nice little computer
