Conceptually, yes. Deception could occur through omission or another passive act that doesn't require committing outright falsehood.
Philosophically they're the same, though, because they both knowingly mislead.

Deception is simply and plainly to harm someone. Lying is a form of deception if abused.
Virtue is determined by situation, and not by rules.

Yes, deceiving is on a deeper/inner level, more to do with one's intention. Whereas lying is more on the outward level. You can deceive someone without lying, by omitting things or leading them on a journey composed of facts, but leading them to where you want them to go. You can also lie to someone without deceiving them, for instance, when a person says "I hate you" but really loves the person, even though the person has lied, but the other person can still tell from the tone of the voice or actions that the person still loves.
Those I think are the differences.

Nope they are the same thing. Lying is verbal deception and deception covers any other type of misguiding or mishandling or concealing the truth

Lying is when you make false statement, it only applies to speech. Deception is any act, spoken or otherwise, designed to give a false impression.
