I have this question:
Write the linear system
$$beginarrayrcr-2x_1+x_2-4x_3 & = & 1 \ x_1-2x_2 & = & -3 \ x_1+x_2-4x_3 & = & 0 endarray$$
in the matrix-vector form $Amathbfx=mathbfb$.
Is this what they want?
$$
x_1*
beginbmatrix
-2 \ 1 \ 1
endbmatrix
+
x_2*
beginbmatrix
1 \ -2 \ 1
endbmatrix
+
x_3*
beginbmatrix
-4 \ 0 \ -4
endbmatrix
=
beginbmatrix
1 \ -3 \ 0
endbmatrix
$$

I guess the matrix-vector form here refers to the matrix A and the vector b. I would suggest to rewrite the equation in the following way
$$beginpmatrix-2&1&-4\1&-2&0\1&1&-4endpmatrixbeginpmatrixx_1\x_2\x_3endpmatrix~=~beginpmatrix1\-3\0endpmatrix$$
To verify the L.H.S. you can just multiply the vector by the matrix and then your will get first guess.

Why is the column of x's called a vector?

The pmatrix-command gives you the $()$ braces. For other kinds of matrices just search for the LaTeX commands. How would you call a single column instead?

You can interpret this system of equation as the point of intersection within $mathbbR^3$ of the three given functions. For that every single variable represents on direction of the $3$-dimensional space you can just conclude setting the vector x as $beginpmatrixx_1\x_2\x_3endpmatrix$ where $x_1,x_2,x_3$ are the three directions towards the the $mathbbR^3$-space.

and $b = beginpmatrix 1 \ -3 \ 0 endpmatrix$ yielding $Ax = b$.

and $b = beginpmatrix 1 \ -3 \ 0 endpmatrix$ yielding $Ax = b$.
