What's "back in the days" mean?

"Back in the days" is an expression used to refer to a time in the past, usually a period in history. In the case of this video, it is describing a time before people commonly slept on mattresses.

What's the main difference between "revenge," "retaliation," and a "vengeance?"

Good question! The phrase "with a vengeance" means the degree to which something is true, "powerfully" or "forcefully." "Revenge" is the action done, "vengeance" is the noun to describe the action of revenge. "Retaliation" is the return of an attack, it doesn't necessarily have the same intention as "revenge" to inflict pain on something done wrong, it's just fighting back. Although, "retaliation" can also be a form of "revenge." Ex: When someone yells at you, don't retaliate by shouting back. Ex: The new rule is a retaliation from the teachers since a few students got in trouble yesterday. Ex: I'll take revenge by pranking him. Ex: I want vengeance for the pain he caused. Ex: She reentered the competition with a vengeance.

Does "individuals" sounds more formal than "people?" If so, would it be more appropriate to say "individuals" on formal occasions?

It's similar, yes, but! "Individuals" emphasizes singular people, rather than as a whole. So, saying "people" may just mean a group or many people in general, but "individual" emphasizes each person in particular. A good synonym here would also be "each person," but you're right, "individual" does sound a little more formal! Ex: I got everyone individual presents. => One each Ex: Each person had something to say. => Here, you couldn't use "individual." Ex: I supervise individuals in the company.
