In a nutshell:
The Admin Server is the adminitration service used to define, start and stop other services like Name Servers, AppServers, WebSpeed Brokers, Datababase and others.
The Name Server is like a DNS server or router. When connecting to a AppServer or WebSpeed Broker you ask the Name Server for a service and it gives the client the information it needs to connect to that service. That's because the service you ask for must not necessarily run on the same machine where the Name Server is located.
The AppServer or WebSpeed Broker is the one the client connects to to post a request. They will the re-direct the client to a dedicated agent which will actually process the request.
