Your right, things are a little confusing.
SECTORS - Think of it as 224 pieces of pie.  It is, I believe, physical.
CELL - Also physical, but I think of them as little chunks of data,
   which may be your data or control data for the hardware.
TRACK BALANCE - How much room is left on the track if you were to
   write a single block.  Look up TRKBAL macro.

That extra calculation is for device control information, part of
which I know is CRC, or at least that is what I was told.  All that
stuff other than the COUNT-KEY-DATA areas are for the hardware and we
mortals can't see it, but it is there.
and all that is now archaic fiction since no real CKD have been made for
decades, being simulated on industry standard fixed-block

this is the "real" format ... giving both 512byte FBA and the newer
4096byte FBA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Format

part of the change justification is 4096byte is more "efficient"
... 15byte "gap, sync, address mark" for each phsical record and "512"
has 50byte ECC and 4096 has 100byte ECC for each record (eight 512 has
400byte ECC total) ... 512byte efficiency 88.7% and 4096byte efficiency
97.3%

That's true, it is emulated now. However from MVS point of view there are still HA, R0, C, K, D fields of records, etc. Even gaps are still there and it seem also CRC code still occupy virtual data cells.
