MQ = media query; Google will give much more information on "what is MQ" than someone would likely give in an email thread, try googling "CSS MQ" ( https://www.google.com/webhp?#q=css+MQ).
Regarding "design in the browser": First, I can't imagine any good arguments against designing in the browser; what was a good idea back then, has now become a sort of best practice. Second, I work with some designers that simply prefer to work through problems in Sketch or (less often) Photoshop/Fireworks. These designers are competent in HTML/CSS, and often they end up coding that part of the project, but they just prefer a different medium to solve the problems. Use whatever tools help you to solve the problem in the fastest way.
