The game editor is a graphical UI for interfacing with the engine, constructing levels and setting up content.
a pipeline is a the path your assets take from start to finish. Generally its the specific programs and methods you use to create something.
say:
concept->zbrush->max->unreal
You need to learn to use google, also no need to bump your own posts, if people are not answering you need to ask yourself why that may be.
