That's just like saying the cake costs 2 bucks and the cake will be costing me 200 cents.
Just two different ways of saying the same thing.

Yes.
x is a variable.
A polynomial in x could be 2x^2 + 3x + 4.
A polynomial in the variable x... also 2x^2 + 3x + 4.
Just like 2 + 4 = 6 and
2 and four are six.
