They're mostly the same, except that nuclear reactors aimed at breeding more fissile material use expensive primary coolant instead of cheap water.

What are advantages and disadvantages of nuclear and breeder reactors?

You can't compare and contrast nuclear reactors and breeder reactors, any more than you can compare a lion with a mammal. A lion is one example of many mammals; a breeder reactor is just one example of many types of nuclear reactor.

Is there any innovative idea to harness energy from non conventional sources of energy?

By 'innovative' I suppose you mean something not being used at present? Nuclear fusion could be one such idea, fast breeder reactors another. Then in the renewable field there is tidal and wave power which could be harnessed.

What makes uranium?

Uranium is an element; it cannot be 'made' as it were. It is similar to iron or oxygen in that respect.Only supernova explosions are powerful enough to actually make uranium or any element heavier than nickel and iron. Some uranium can be made in nuclear breeder reactors or in labs by bombarding thorium samples with neutrons.
