I am wondering what the different names are for these things:

localhost                  (host?)
localhost:3000             (address?)
http://localhost:3000      (url base?)
http://localhost:3000/xyz  (url resource?)

what are the best names for the different entities above?

The above diagram shows the names for all of the parts of a URI (where the scheme is HTTP or HTTPS).
