70.0 is the bond force constant.
2.05 is the equilibrium distance
See the amber equation in the manual. I also suggest that you read the
various papers that have been published on amber including the FF94 one.

CU-NB-CV means angle between CU, NB and CV with NB forming the central atom.
20.0 is the force constant
and
126.7 the equilibrium angle.

X is treated as a wildcard. See the FF94 paper and all should become clear.

These are van der Waals parameters. Again a good survey of the literature
surrounding Amber and the system you want to simulate should answer all of
your questions. Without doing this you are just wasting your time as you are
going to end up running simulations that are meaningless. A week spent in
the library before you start will likely save you months of effort.
