What does break-even mean here?

Roughly how many months of payment savings it takes to recover cash closing costs (or similar upfront costs).

Should I refinance?

Are taxes and insurance included?

Usually not unless a field asks for them. Most pages compare principal & interest (and optional PMI) only.
