They're the same - There were different translations and misspellings in the translations from the Chinese to the English.

No difference. Daoism is just a more westernized - some would say erroneous, but I won't - spelling of Taoism.

Yes, no difference. Just one additional point, though...
Both are pronounced DOW-ISM.

One's spelled with a "d," the other with a "t."
Hope that helped!
