Ion exchange itself is an adsorption reaction too. The question is probably about the difference between ion exchange and specific sorption.
In ion exchange, an ion sorbs to the surface by removing an other ion of the same valence or multiple ions of lower valence. In this way, ion exchange never changes the surface charge.
Specific sorption describes the inner sphere complexing of an ion to the surface without the need for other ions to be removed. In this way, specific sorption is able to alter the surface charge.

Ions are charged.
As the surface to volume ratio increases the rate of in exchange increases too.

The number of electrons.
Yes they are the same

Single column depends upon small differences in conductivity between sample ions and elutent ions. Suppressor based ion exchange has a second ion exchange column, (suppressor) after the original ion exchanger that converts ions to a limited charged product.
