There's an explanation in-game after choosing a realm but here you go:

Frostmourne is seasonal (resets every year, characters move to Icecrown at the end of cycle), it'll reset in a few weeks so if you wanna start and progress through all WotLK content gradually, that would be the time (read more about it here and here)

• has a bit harder content (easier than Lordaeron, gradual introduction of ICC buff as time passes)
• coin shop for catching up (items appear only when enough are obtained in-game)
• point shop

Icecrown is a standard realm

• has easy retail content
• coin shop
• point shop

Lordaeron is a standard realm

• has harder content that Frostmourne and Icecrown (boss HP bigger, enrage timer smaller, no ICC buff)
• coin shop only for cosmetics
• no point shop

All realms now have adjustable XP rate:
Lordaeron is x 0.5-1
Icecrown is x 0.5-7
Frostmourne is x 0.5-7

BGs and Arenas are crossrealm with "brackets":

Update on the WoTLK battleground brackets
January 20, 2021

A few days ago we adjusted the way battlegrounds are bracketed at level 80. Previously we had two brackets, the 'low gear' and' high gear' brackets as we call them. However, we noticed there was still a major imbalance even within these brackets. Players with absolute starter gear, were playing with or against players with decent but not end-game gear, full season 6 PvP gear for example. Obviously this is not ideal and we wanted to do something about that.
We reworked the matching system to have more 'gear brackets'. It will now dynamically scale depending on queue times and thus the amount of players in-game. But we also added safeguards to make sure players from Frostmourne will (under acceptable queue time circumstances) never meet players with gear not available yet on the realm. That means Frostmourne players will now meet more players from other realms, especially when better gear is involved. But the matches on all realms will be much more balanced overall.
As always, we are keeping a close eye on the new matchmaking system and are constantly finetuning the system. We want to see everyone having a fighting chance in battlegrounds, no matter how good or bad your character is geared.
