When it comes to these principles like architecture and Infrastructure how would you describe them? The actual meaning and in development where its used. So for example is it like infrastructure is the actual website and architecture is the plans or so called blue prints (UML) in the background?
Infrastructure is a word used for the underlying components that support the operation of something. In your example, you said a "web site" - so things like load balancers, web servers, database servers, and the operating systems that run those servers would be included in the infrastructure. This can go more granular, to include the details of the data centers that the servers operate in. [power generators, cooling, etc.]
You are correct in that architecture is use to speak of the "blue prints", or the design of something. UML, which you mentioned, is one way to express and visualize a design. It tries to answer questions like: What are the components? What are the relationships between the components? What do they do, and not do?

I am developing a number of microservices. They will communicate through azure service bus. I would like the messages to be sent and received as strongly typed objects.
Am I violating the microservice principles by creating a bunch of classes to represent the messages?
I would probably put these classes in a nuget package, that I use in each of the microservices. Any examples or best practice you can point me to on this?
I wouldn't call this 'violation' but rather a design choice. For example, when using wear abstraction such as NServiceBus or MassTransit, you're by design using strongly typed messages. Those are contracts and are expected to be shared between services.

I keep seeing references to JAMstack web development architecture.
From the web page Jamstack.org it is not obvious how JAMstack is different from the common JavaScript SPA frontend with REST API backend architecture.
What is the key difference?
Javascript Heavy front end - APIs for everything else - templated Markup
jamstack.org is the canonical site with examples and explanation
The key thing that differentiates JAMstack from other architectures is the middle part. APIs for every back end function means that backend can be spread out/scaled with ease.
EDIT: I should add that the term was coined by a CDN company Netlify which stands to benefit from a wider adoption of the architecture.

i'm about to start a project for sharing files, announcements, and other stuff between branches of a company, it must be a web based system, with all the layers as profile management, employee communication, etc... What i don't know is what's the name of this kind of systems? It's a web based system wich will only allow access to the company's personnel(still don't know how to do that - help please), and must connect the different branches.
I think you're making an Intranet Software or kind of that.
Look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_social_software
Software examples
Specific social software tools which programmers have adapted for enterprise use include:
wikis
social bookmarking
social search
Web Content Management System
instant messaging
file sharing
So, you are doing a profile management, file sharing...it looks like an intranet.
Example of intranet: http://www.intranetdashboard.com/
A textbook name I've met for these type of systems is "Knowledge Management Information Systems".

One of the main features in my website is a simple One-to-One chat.
I'm debating whether or not I shall dedicate a server (or a cluster) for the sole purpose of this chat feature. The simpler option would be combining this feature as part of the web-servers and just scale out when necessary.
It is worth mentioning I'd like in the future to enable images transfer within the chat.
So what is the better option and why?
Well yes, Whether to use another dedicated server is not depending on how much traffic your site will have to handle. If you're dealing with images It will be a good idea to store them in another server and keep the root server clean.

I have taken over a large project at work that requires a lot of TLC to get it into a manageable state. The whys and hows of this situation don't really matter at this point.
I was thinking I could use some of the concepts of IT Service Management to rein in this project. It has no coding standards, no change management, no issue tracking, and no build process to speak of. Everything is done by hand in Explorer with issues added to a Word document as the help desk receives them.
What kind of formal process would you use to address this situation?
Have you considered ITIL? It has a formalized structure for some of the areas that you’re dealing with, such as application management, change management, and incident management. It’s a formal process with supporting documentation and certifications.
