The answer to your first question is easy. They are different because Exodus is talking about their deliverance and the beginning of commands which God began giving to them. Third book of the Bible deals mostly with the laws God gave them; as well as Leviticus and the book of Numbers.
The Ten Commandments are basic moral laws which God has given. But the New Testament said that they were all summed up in Love.
I do not know about this restated part which you are talking of.

The first time that they are stated in the Bible, in Exodus 20, they are brought down from the mount by Moses. The second time, Deuteronomy 5, Moses is, I believe, telling the people again of God's law, perhaps as a reminder not to stray. The differences are merely wording. They state the same thing, just spoken differently. If I am wrong, please feel free to correct me, as I am not well-versed (pardon the pun) in the Bible, but this is what I believe to be true.

Poor editing when they did the rewrites (wouldn't be the case if they used 'copy & paste').
