Answer 1

bacicly the same but diffrent
the fuel system delivery systems are diffrent as is the ignition systems
waterpumps ,,electrial ,,mounts,, are simular if you have a good sence of how things work you can fix both most mechinics do one or the other but they can do the other if the need is there

Answer 2

I would go with Diesel training, that way you can work on both diesel cars and pick-up trucks, as well as semi-trucks. There is enough similarities that you can actually work on non-diesel engines as well! :)
