I just came to know about Visual Studio Code. I would like to know, can I replace Visual Studio for all .NET development related work? Can I save my cost of Visual Studio licensing? What is there in Visual Studio which is not there in Visual Studio Code?

VS Code is a cross-platform code editor that can easily run on macOS, Windows, and Linux. All the web technologies VS Codes use Electron Framework in the end, meaning the applications built through VS Code are lean and seamless when updating them. VS Code is comparatively much faster than Visual Studio.
Visual Studio Code is an editor while Visual Studio is an IDE. Visual Studio Code is cross-platform and fast, while Visual Studio is not fast. Note that Visual Studio for Mac is available now but is a different product compared to Visual Studio (Windows). It's based on Xamarin Studio and lacks support for some older .
You can find and replace text in the Visual Studio editor by using Find and Replace (Ctrl+F or Ctrl+H) or Find/Replace in Files (Ctrl+Shift+F or Ctrl+Shift+H).
If you're using TypeScript, it could be said that VS Code is your best bet. So, the fact that VS Code is built on top of web technologies and also provides great support for them, makes it feel familiar and pretty much the default choice for a large portion of its growing user-base, web developers.
This question already has an answer here and here.
The list of differences is huge.
Visual Studio Code is a source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and macOS, with emphasis in just writing the code instead of dealing with debugging, compiling, testing, refactoring, and all the other things that make Visual Studio great.
The people using Visual Studio Code will probably be those on a Mac who will just deal with client-side technologies (HTML/JS/CSS) and do not want to install Windows in order to do that.
People using Windows and developing C#, F# or VB will continue to use Visual Studio 2015.
Also the difference is that .NET has been split into two: .NET Core (Mac/Linux/Windows) .NET Framework (Windows only) All native user interface technologies (Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Forms, etc) are part of the framework, not the core.
Also, Visual Studio tends to be oriented around Projects & Solutions. Projects have a large amount of scaffolding (pre-generated starting templates) and features.
VS Code looks to be presently oriented around files, as a glorified text editor, and no project scaffolding exists.
