Is it good temps for a laptop that used for surfing the web, watching videos and downloading?

Yep, all looks good to me.
 
What is the "dangerous" temperature for a laptop then? The celcius number that make you say its starting to overheat?
 
Depends on the laptop...most are designed to handle 80-90C and will shut down or crash above 90C. Some might be lower and others, best thing you can do is research your laptop model or contact the MFG. Dell is usually pretty good about providing that information and they have pretty good customer service in my experiences.

My Dell is a haswell-based unit and it loads in the upper 70s in games, in some hotter rooms/outside areas...I can reach 80C. I'm not worried about it, haswells are designed to hit up to 100C and throttle. Other components though...ymmv.

What is the meaning of THM ? What is related to ?
 
THM is short for THerMal. That is the system temperatures usually...but don't base your readings off of just one utilty. If the MFG has one specific or you can access temps in BIOS, trust those first. Try other utilities such as AIDA, OCCT, Open Hardware Monitor, and make sure you're using the newest version of HWMON. I would focus on CPU core temps, GPU temps and HDD temps. Keep the HDD below 50C, CPU and GPU below 100C tops, and preferably 80C and you'll be fine for most laptops that is within built parameters in my experience.
 
System temperature is the temp of north or south bridge ? Kindoff ? A temp for chipset ?

Newer laptops and technologies have northbridge tasks built into the CPU, leaving the southbridge to handle the other tasks needed. Could be that system temp is that, or a probe near the CPU socket. Generally it is chipset-related.

Your temps are fine.

Many supplies don't tell what the different temperature readout is. I have some Gigabyte MB's and I'm still guessing. In you case with an old CPU (CPU is not handling memory) it could be the GPU or maybe the memory. If the shown temperatures are the normal one (I doubt, since you just switched from battery to charger) you are far from in any problems (other then the fact that your laptop is +5 year old). I had a (even older) Dell laptop running at 98 C. Anything less then 70 C for these old farts are good for the short life they should have at that point.

Edit: Checking the net I found somebody who seem to think that it is:
Motherboard
Dell Inc. 0N7J7M (Microprocessor) 54 °C
But go by the name of the MB (0N7J7M) if you want to learn (found a link in Russian...)

Laptops are generally designed to handle very high temps. If they're designed to run 60-70c all day, the manufactures don't have to use up space, weight, cost, on a huge CPU cooler and/or battery power on a huge fan to keep it cool.

Here's my Dell Inspiron 1764 at perfectly acceptable temperatures.

So I guess I am way below the temps with a 35 celcius :P

You are probably sitting in a cold room then? My i7 4700hq runs between 35-40 idle with 21 degrees ambient temp.
 
Yup cold but I started my vintage mini heater. That thing will melt the varnish on wooden floor hehehe

Anyway your idle temps are fine, my temps run up to 80 degrees CPU and 71 degrees GPU during gaming on my Asus ROG laptop.
