Sneezing is actually caused by irritations in the nose, when you sneeze air goes very fast, normally getting rid of the irritation. These irritations can be caused by dust or other such things. Most dust or irritations don't get into your nose though, because of the tiny hairs that protect your inner nostrils.

Coughing is a involuntary thing, it is caused by the brain trying to clear the body's airways, people cough more these days, normally from the more pollution in the air, like cigarette smoke, car exhaust and other such things.

Every time you sneeze, thousands of tiny droplets are blasted out of your mouth. If you have a cold, those droplets might spread the cold to other people.
