    Common Data Service - CDS 2.0 is our very own Dynamics CRM aka xRM (for 6 months it was called Customer Engagement). CDS 1.0 was built on AX which was dropped & CRM 365 is rebranded now.

    PowerApps has 2 versions - Canvas app which can use all the 200+ connectors to design Picture perfect apps using WYSIWIG editor. It is a non bootstrap but responsive design. 2nd version is Model driven PowerApps which is nothing but Dynamics 365 CRM - Unified Interface App (UCI).

    PowerApps is simply an UI layer on our CRM database (CDS). No license no access.

    Unfortunately not for most scenarios. This is due to both licensing restrictions, and the fact that PowerApps connects to CRM as the given user. If you only have a few known external users (e.g. for a partner company), and are willing to pay for CRM/PowerApp licenses for them, then you could create CRM users for them, and then they would be able to use PowerApps
