Well technically, no. HTML could mean HTML 4 or HTML 5. It's a bit like car vs Volvo car, vs Audi car.

No, though HTML 5 is upgraded version of HTML /HTML 4 .HTML 5 brings lots of changes like audio-video being integral parts of html 5 but not in HTML 4. So, you will have to make separate documents for HTML 5 and html4.

They are the same in that both are html... but HTML5 has removed somethings that were present in previous versions and added a bunch of things... so while the basics of the language didn't change, there are new "words" to know. Hint: Learn HTML5, don't bother with older versions because they are older and going away.

Yeah, it's the same. 5 is just saying the version of html. That's the current version.
