Is https different from http with ssl? If so, when should one use https and when ssl?

The answer is no. HTTPS is the secured version of HTTP protocol that is used by the browser for communication. It uses SSL/TLS for delivering the encrypted data. On the other hand, SSL is an encryption protocol that is used to encrypt data.
HTTPS is a secure version of HTTP because it uses SSL/TLS as a sublayer. When a website uses HTTPS in its web address, it indicates that any communication taking place between a browser and server is secure. In other words, if your website is using HTTPS, all the information will be encrypted by SSL/TLS certificates.
2: HTTPS is more secure, for both users and website owners. With HTTPS, data is encrypted in transit in both directions: going to and coming from the origin server. The protocol keeps communications secure so that malicious parties can't observe what data is being sent.
Nope. HTTPS is HTTP over SSL.

HTTPS is a transfer protocol in web and it uses SSL in its underlying (Socket) layer. Its possible for HTTPS to use other technologies for achieving security for transferring HTTP traffic in the future.
SSL is a way of securing data transfer at socket layer. It could be used for other purposes (i.e FTPS).
