I am really confused about the definition between all these tools as it seems like all are kind of meetings or working groups to gather requirements!!!

My recommendation is going to PMI´s business analysis documentation where you can find the definitions inside the glossary or tems or inisde the tools definitions. You have two: the practice guide and the business analysis guide.

Lots of great information here. All I can add is to encourage providing definitions of terminology in your Project Management Plan. With a large team and a number of stakeholders you have to assume they come from different backgrounds and, like you, need clarification. The objective of a meet needs to be clearly understood by attendees and the name of the meet should reflect the intent of the meet. Also facilitates document review and data mining at a later date.

02-Interviews (Obtaining Confidential information)
03-Focus Group (Prequalified stakeholders and subject matter experts)
04-Benchmarking (Comparing - generate ideas for improvement)
05- Affinity Diagram (Generate and organize or grouping or classifying information)

Fully agree with Maria Isabel Martin Serrano. Adding to that you can take a look to PMI´s guides related to business analysis, mainly the practice guide.
