On the contrary, the Sumerian texts are a corruption of tradition. Read them: they reveal themselves as a fanciful jumble of idolatrous phantasmagoria. Genesis passes down the ancient tradition unaltered.

Sumerian man similar to Noah from Noah's Ark?

The famous story about the Great Flood is best known from the Bible (Genesis 6-9). It has always been known that there were similar stories from Greece and Rome (like the ones by Apollodorus, Ovid, and Hyginus), but in the nineteenth century, several texts from ancient Iraq were added. The first discovery was Tablet XI of the Babylonian Epic of Gilgameš (in 1872), the second the Sumerian original, now called the Eridu Genesis (1914), and the third the Epic of Atrahasis (1956). It is now clear that the Biblical account stays close to an earlier Babylonian model.

How is Sumerian writing different from cuneiform?

Cuneiform writing was invented by the Sumerians for writing their own language, but it ended up being adapted to write many other languages as well, including Akkadian, Elamite, Eblaite and Old Persian. Consequently there are many cuneiform texts that are not Sumerian.
