So you want to keep the 64 bit version for now?

Nowhere. FreeBSD uses a different numbering system.

That is the whole disk.

The first Linux installation, /dev/sda1.
Note that FreeBSD (or UNIX in general) calls the 4 primary
partitions "slices"; their names are ada0s1, ada0s2, ada0s3
and so on. Inside a slice, BSD partitions can be placed
which hold the FreeBSD file systems. But you don't need
to deal with that - the installer will do it correctly.
It's still worth reading the corresponding chapter in
the handbook (which I already pointed to).

An extended partition container ("MS-DOS extended partition")
to hold more partitions because you can only have 4 partitions
("MS-DOS primary partition") on a drive.

The second Linux installation.

Probably a FreeBSD /boot partition and something else, no idea
what this is. Too small.

The USB stick.

Delete, as mentioned several times before.

You already have MBR, as you can see, so stay with MBR layout
for Linux compatibility. GPT would be advised for a totally
new installation (on an empty drive).
