In C# a field is a raw piece of data held by a class.
A property is a sort of virtual field. It looks like a field, but reading or writing to it actually invoke little methods.
The term variable covers both of them.
A C# attribute is a tag attached to a field, class, or some other part of the code. Attributes can be things like "This should be saved" or "When loading, this has alternate name X".
In XML, an attribute is a piece of data attached to an element like this: <ElementName AttributeName="AttributeValue">Inner elements here</ElementName>
So yeah, there are some overlapping terms there :/.
