A constitutional court is one exercising the judicial powers found in Article III of the constitution, and therefore its judges are given constitutional protection: they may not be fired nor may their salaries be reduced while they are in office.
A legislative court is one set up be Congress for some specialized purpose and staffed with people who have fixed terms of office and can be removed or have their salaries reduced.
The highest constitutional court in the USA is the US Supreme Court. Lower level Federal courts may make decisions on the constitutional validity of laws, however, these decisions are subject to review by the latter court if the issue is taken up by the Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court can choose to not review a lower court's decision.
