What does "Dealer peeks (US style)" and "No peek (European style)" means?
i am new to BJ...

Dealer Peeks means that the dealer looks at his hole card to make sure that he doesn’t have a BJ before the players can play (except insurance). The No Peek is when the dealer doesn’t take a hole card until all of the players have finished playing. The No Peek is sometimes called European No Hole Card (ENHC) also.

a lot of the simulators, programs, etc dont peek when the dealer has a ten up (cvbj), yet im pretty sure almost all u.s. casinos peek with a ten showing.. do you know why this is?

Most programs that I've used have the option of playing either way. Sometimes you have to change the settings to make them peek under the tens, but they can usually do it.

It should also be pointed out that in European no peek, if you double or split, you lose all your money if the dealer has a blackjack. Unlike American peek, where you don't have the chance to double or split if the dealer has a blackjack. Rarely, you will find a casino in the U.S. where the dealer does not peek, but in those cases, you will only lose your original bet if the dealer has blackjack, and not split or double bets.

thats true, but if the dealer doesnt peek with a 10, but you only lose your original bet, you still waste time and cards (which can be a good thing if your playing negative)
