Answer 1

Hello,

A webpart is a reusable component that end user could add to pages through SharePoint UI.

A user control is a control that you can add to page via development.

Basically you can do the same within a usercontrol and a webpart (webpart can load user control ) .

Hope this help

Answer 2

Hello,

I feel the most important difference is that the webparts supports personalization which means that changes in the personal view will be stored per user basis. Also as Rob said, the user has the freedom to add/remove as per his need. On the other hand a usercontrol is more of a kind of static one. So you need to provide a functionality that is not required to be added and removed every now and then.
