Pudding - a general name for many thick, rich dishes, both sweet and savory. Puddings are generally made of an ingredient that thickens, like cornmeal, or include a thickener, such as cornstarch.
Mousse - a molded dish based on meat or sweet whipped cream stiffened with egg white and/or gelatin (if mousse contains ice cream, it is called bombe).

I'm from Uk, so here's my definition. Mousse is a very light and airy "pudding". It may be based on eggs or gelatine that have been whisked before setting. (For texture, think of a jello that has been whisked wlie it is on the point of setting) Choc mousse contains melted choc and eggs, with optional rum, cream. In modern times a pudding is likely to be a cake mixture put into a greased pyrex bowl, covered with foil tied on tightly (I use rubber band) and boiled in a water bath till cooked. Jam or syrup may be put in with it. Suet pudding is a similar thng only instead of cake mixture, suet pastry (made from beef fat) surrounds the contents of fruit or meat. the latter is an example of a savoury pudding. Puddings have been a stregth of English cuisine for at least 200- 250 years.

Pudding is a dessert made with milk, sugar flavouring and thickened with starch.It is fully cooked.
Mousse is a mixture of melted chocolate, beaten with egg yolks, and incorporated marengue (beaten egg whites). It is not cooked. Simply allowed to cool. It is much flyffier than pudding.
Unless of course you mean bread pudding...then its another story.

a mousse tends to be lighter and is whipped allowing more air into it

mousse is usually made with real cream, it has a thicker consistency and it much richer in taste!

Probably none, but you will pay more for mousse.
