I hope that made sense even though it was brief but let me know if there are still some things you don't understand or have any other questions & I'll do my best to answer them :]
TERMINOLOGY:

Yep, "appie" and "baaji" are both for older sisters, so like "didi". There's no difference between the two. Both are used commonly. My little cousins call me both appi and baaji.
There's also a slight variation of appie called aapi (long a sound).
"Khala" refers to mom's sister (mausi in hindi I believe). As far as "bi" is concerned, if you're talking about the "bi" that sounds like bee (honeybeee 😆), then I think that's said as a term of respect for usually an older woman. People often also use it for grandmothers or any woman who holds a place of high respect.

I think 'Aapi' is a more respectful term than 'baji', you may use it for an older sister who is more older such as 5 years and baji for a sister who is not very much older than you such as 1 or 2 years. But it doesn't really matter, you can use any of the terms to refer to an older sister :)
