Officially? No difference. But I could see how you discern a difference when you think that the military does something besides prepare or conduct war.

Yes and No... Of course, not all military activities and programs are war-related, or exclusively war-related. The funding however doesn't typically make such a distinction at the levels of Congressional funding. Even if you took military pay as one line item, the argument can be made that it's not all war-related pay.

Absolutely -- money can be given to the military for specific purposes, or just provided without any limitations.
Specific allocations -- called earmarks -- are common when specific projects or research efforts are funded, or when paying salaries, or when allocating money for specific initiatives.
Congress can (and usually does) specify how money can be used when it is given.
