Resistances to elements like fire/cold/acid/magic _damage_ are treated differently. A 50% fire resistance doesn't have a 50% chance of no damage, but every time you recieve fire damage, 50% of the damage is resisted, so a fireball that does 20 points of damage will only hit your character for 10 points.
With magic resistance the spell either works or doesn't, the better your resistance, the more chance to block the spell.
Whether resistances stack or not depends on whether the item adds resistance, or SETS resitance to X%. Be careful that some of the item descriptions aren't clear, or are erroneous, so check it by equipping the item and check your characters profile.
