The term rebbe is used to refer to the rabbi who is a leader of a Hassidic sect. So, there is the Bobover Rebbe, the Bostoner Rebbe, the Chernobler Rebbe etc. It is very common that the sects are named after the town where they originated. The Rebbe of Borsche would then be the Hassidic leader of the town of Borsche and might also be known as the Borscher Rebbe. The name Borsche is a family name, though not a common one, suggesting that there may be a place by that name, but I have not been able to find it.
The Ashkenazic Jews, call him a Rabbi or Rebbe. While the Sephardic jews call him a Chacham (lit. a wise person). Rabbi and Chacham are their titles as well.
Yes! He was also the one who wrote down the major teachings of Rebbe Shimon, the Zohar talks a lot about him and about the main event that was on Lag B'omer when Rebbe Shimon passed away.

"Rebbe" is a Yiddish term for a Jewish religious leader or teacher, often associated with Hasidic Judaism. "Borsche" refers to a type of Jewish soup made from a broth base. Together, "rebbe of borsche" is a playful or humorous way of referring to a Hasidic leader who is particularly renowned for their knowledge, piety, or wisdom.
No. The Lubavitcher Chasidim (a group of ultra-orthodox Jews) has something called a Rebbe which is the leader of their movement. But that is exclusive to Chabad and none of the major movements have anything similar.
