The nursery said this is a Philodendron, so I looked it up to get some more info on care…. I didn’t realize how many types there are 😮….. any ideas about this one?  
Also I got nosey with her and tore the bottom of the lightest leaf if you can tell. Will it be okay?

Maybe a moonlight philodendron. And ya the leaf will be okay you can hardly tell that it got torn tbh.

The leaf won't regrow, but it should be fine. Young philodendron are a bit hard to pinpoint as they don't get adult leaf shape for awhile. But most philodendron are pretty similar care wise
