"Spaghetti" actually refers to the shape of the pasta, and in the US "marinara" refers to the sauce. You can use whatever sauce you want on spaghetti, but it's best suited to lighter sauces with not a lot of big chunks, like a simple drizzle of olive oil and crushed garlic, or a carbonara. "Spaghetti" is actually plural for "spaghetto" which translates to "twine" in Italian. In Italy you would say the type of pasta and then mention the sauce too. So the classic spaghetti dish we know in the US would be called "Spaghetti alla marinara".

The basic ingredients are the same. In fact, any tomato sauce recipe can be used as a spaghetti or pasta sauce or as a pizza sauce. However, pizza sauce should have a thicker consistency than most spaghetti sauces. Watery sauces will soak the crust and leave you with a soggy pizza. If leftover or store bought spaghetti sauce is going to be used on pizza, as is with no 'doctoring', reduce the sauce by simmering in a sauce pan until it has the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
