Does trading BABA give me any of the rights of owning Alibaba stock?

No. BABA is a synthetic perpetual with no delivery mechanism or arbitrage bridge to Alibaba's actual ADS. It gives price exposure only — there are no shareholder rights, no dividends, no voting rights, and no claim on the underlying shares.

Does BABA track the American Depositary Share (ADS) or Alibaba's Hong Kong-listed ordinary share?

It tracks the ADS, which trades in USD. Alibaba is dual-primary-listed: its ADS trades on the NYSE in U.S. dollars, and its ordinary shares also trade on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in Hong Kong dollars (HKD). Because BABA tracks the USD-denominated ADS, no live FX conversion is needed for the price.

How is BABA different from other names, like COIN?

BABA tracks a Chinese e-commerce, cloud, and digital-payments conglomerate whose core business is tied to the Chinese market. COIN, by contrast, operates a cryptocurrency exchange with no comparable single-country retail business.
