1 auction: An "auction" is a public sale where things are sold to the highest price. Common things that are sold at auctions are art and paintings, automobiles, property and furniture. The person who directs an auction is called an auctioneer.
2 bid: The word "bid" has several meanings, but in this context, it refers to offering or proposing money for an item or service. Usually, at an auction, one will "bid" for an item. This involves signalling to the auctioneer that you are offering a sum of money to buy the item for sale. In the audio, Hannah wants to bid for a painting she likes. Note "to bid" is irregular: bid/bid/(have) bid.

This statement is true, and the main purpose of Brian's email. Brian writes, "there are some things I need to get rid of", he means that he no longer wants some of his possessions. To "get rid of (something)" is to dispose of it. Example: "I'd like to get rid of these old socks; they've got holes in them."
This statement is false. Brian writes that he is "Spring cleaning" his apartment (cleaning and organizing that is traditionally done at the beginning of the Spring). Brian is not "moving out", a term which describes leaving one's home or apartment, generally to move into another one.
This statement is false. Brian writes that rather than sell his items at auction, (an event where people "bid" or "make offers" to purchase items, and the item is eventually sold to the highest "bidder"), he is offering his colleagues the first chance to purchase his possessions.
This statement is true. Brian writes that some of his clothes are "quite valuable". A "valuable (ring)" is one which has value, or is "worth" something (either a lot of money, or it has sentimental value).
