If a nova were to get close enough to a planet, there's no doubt in my mind it could. if it were a planet around the size of earth easily. A bigger planet would be more difficult, but yes. a nova can wipe out a planet.

What is the difference between a star's death and a planet's death?

In theory, the death of a star would be the cause of the death of a planet, making both catastrophic events. The death of a planet can range from the destruction of the vegetation to the destruction of the planet itself. Either way, if something makes the planet uninhabitable, then it is considered dead. The death of a star is quite different. A star doesn't have an ecosystem or anything like that. However, if a star were to go super nova, it could wipe out several planets as well, thus making them into dead planets. A star could also just fizzle out, which could cause the death of planet(s) that use the star for heat, like our sun. If our sun were to go out, our planet would become dead. I hope this is what you were asking for, and sorry if it's not. My source of information is my knowledge gained from watching Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and the Sarah Jane Adventures. :-)
