Answer 2

Oysters and clams are different in many ways. For one, oysters are normally at one single place after the first couple of weeks of their life. They have feet during the initial weeks. But they disappear after oysters have found a place for permanent stay. Clams on the other hand can move around on their feet for their entire lifetime.

Answer 3

Actually it depends where you are.

In the US, a 'clam' is a generic term for any member of the bivalve class, Bivalvia. Oysters would therefore qualify as being a clam. So, clams are not always oysters, a specific clam could be an oyster, and all oysters are clams.

In the UK, a 'clam' is more specific, as the name for certain bivalve species, and it does not apply as an umbrella term for all bivalves. A clam is therefore not an oyster in the UK.
