All are the same, but just different names based on regions of the world. Hurricanes in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific (usually off Mexico), Typhoons for western Pacific (China, Japan, etc.) and Cyclones for Indian Ocean and Australia (they are not the same as tornadoes). Each region has different naming systems.

Hurricanes and typhoons are the same except hurricanes are used here in the west while typhoons are used in the east. Cyclones are tornadoes (I think).

There is no difference, but they are used to differentiate the geographic region of the world they occurred in.
