A: An "official" has control over SOMETHING and an "authority" has control over SOMEONE. In America, a "Chinese official" might be a health inspector or building inspector. A "Chinese authority" might be a judge or a police officer. Both "officials" and "authorities" usually work for the government because that is where they get their power from. A "Chinese official" could close your restaurant or condemn your building if you aren't following the health codes or building codes, but they can't arrest you. A "Chinese authority" can arrest you and even send you to jail if you are not following the law.

A: no I don't think so, but we (teenagers at least) don't really say 'confess/confession' often either. It's usually just "Oh! Sally has a crush on Justin." Usually the word 'crush' is used to describe new feelings someone may have towards another person that they are not currently in a relationship with. But as far as I know there is no word for the act of confessing + emotions. :)
