Balsamic vinegar is made from grape pressings which have not been made into wine. It is aged in barrels similar to wine. It is generally very deep burgundy and slightly sweet and syrupy, depending how long it has been aged. Other vinegars such as white wine or rice wine vinegar are made from wine in a controlled process. The sugar in the mixture becomes alcohol and the alcohol becomes acetic acid in order to produce vinegar.
White wine vinegar is made from distilled corn but, vinegars are made from a variety of ingredients. Some examples would be vinegars made from apples, rice, distilled alcohol, beer, raspberries, etc.
Malt vinegar, white wine vinegar, white spirit vinegar. Spirit vinegar doesn't taste as good as any of the brewed vinegars.

Technically, yes. As apple cider ages, it turns into apple cider vinegar. But you shouldn't substitute them for each other!
I cannot imagine why anyone would further distill something as basic as white vinegar, but anyway, if you are looking for an acid to activate baking soda in a muffin or biscuit recipe, any vinegar can be used, but some may impart a flavor that you do not want. In that case, use cream of tartar or any other edible acid (for instance, a Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) tablet.
