Messages vs. Conversations?

Once or probably twice in the past few days I have been involved in a "conversation" without realizing it is not another name for a private message.

Can someone explain how this works? The first time, the conversation was initiated by someone else. I went to another place on my computer to look up an answer, then couldn't find the conversation to reply (I was thinking it was just a new name for a private message). The second time, I initiated a conversation with someone else, still not realizing it's not the same as a private message.

So,
1) do conversations disappear when you leave the page?
2) how exactly (and not accidentally) do you get into conversation mode (or avoid it) vs. messaging mode?
