Are the scripts in the Script Editor ran on every frame? I apologize if this isnt descriptive enough.
How are the scripts run in rpgmaker xp?

Yes, at least the "main" or "update" method of the current scene is run every frame.
If you look at the Main script, you'll see a 'while' loop that runs $scene.main
Above that, $scene gets set to Scene_Title (Which creates an object of that class, and assigns it to $scene)
In the main method of Scene_Title, it reads in all of the rxdata, sets up the menu, then runs a loop containing:
Graphics.update # refresh screen & advance 1 frame
Input.update # check to see if there is any input from the keyboard
update # If the Action key is pressed, execute the command currently chosen
When you select New Game, the $game_* data is set up, and the $scene is changed to Scene_Map.new, so the Scene_Title object disappears (is disposed), and a new object (Scene_Map) is created, and now it's main method runs.
Why do you ask?

I am just trying to learn how things work(and trying to learn what the equivalent variables and functions are for this program compared to game maker or flash), thank you for your help
