First, what are those red currency things?
Also, what are hero levels and why should I care?
What are those new boxes?
Also what are those things that look like Expedition tokens?
THx.

The red currency is Essence, which you use to make cards Prismatic. If you've played Hearthstone, this is the equivalent of golden cards: you're making them shinier, essentially, to show off your preference for that particular card or whatever. It costs 700 to make a champion Prismatic, with the other card tiers costing considerably less. If you don't like the look of them, you can turn off the Prismatic while editing a deck.
The new boxes tie directly into this, in-that you're upgrading a card to Prismatic for free. When you open a Prismatic rewards chest, you get to pick between three options. These chests can upgrade just like regular card chests, meaning you could theoretically get an Epic or Champion Prismatic from a smaller box (although that last one cannot come from Common Prismatic chests, apparently).
Lastly, in regards to Essence, we know that champion skins are on their way in some capacity, and may require Essence to purchase them, so...hold off on spending your Essence until we know more, if that interests you.
The hero levels, or Champion Mastery, is like achievement points for your champions. As you play with them in non-Lab situations, you gain experience: gain enough, and the champion gains a level. Higher levels come with flashier badges, and potentially other rewards down the line. IIRC your opponent can see your Mastery badges, telling them to some extent how experienced you are in running that deck/champion.
As for the Expedition-token lookalikes, I'm not sure what you mean so I'll need you to clarify to answer that one :P
Thx. I thought the box gave me a choice of three cards (just got one) so I kind of screwed up lol.
As for the expedition look alike circles. I think it was tied to the last event.
Oh, those. The Sun Discs were related to the last event, yes, collected via wins and quests for progressing along the rewards track. Just like the Spirit Blossom event, if you were around for that one.
Welcome back to the game! Great timing since the anniversary celebrations just started. Link is right about everything he said, just gonna shamelessly advertise our guides on Champion Mastery and Prismatic cards for further reading.
And if Lab of Legends wasn't around when you last played you should totally give it a go. Not only is it super fun (at least Normal and Hard modes are, where you aren't brutally annihilated all the time), but it grants PvP bonus xp for the first three wins. Those bonuses are separate from the actual PvP bonuses, so you can get double the bonus xp by playing it.
