Masonry cement is basically normal Portland cement with added ingredients to provide the plasticity required for masonry work. Masonry cements are pre-packaged primarily as either Type N Masonry Cement or Type S Masonry Cement. Other types are available for specific circumstances. Type N Masonry mortar is recommended for general use in building non-load bearing walls as well as for exterior veneer walls not requiring high strength. Type S Masonry mortar is recommended for use in all masonry below grade as well as in building exterior load bearing walls requiring high strength. DO NOT use masonry cement for concrete jobs
Masonry mortor is what is between bricks that stick them together. If you mean what is it made of, just cement and sand.
Brick Masonry is obatined by systematic bonding placement of lying bricks and connecting them altogether with cement mortar.

I would use type S mortar for vertical applications and portland cement for horizontal work. Portland will work for either but it is rough on your skin and hands.
Masonry implies bricks, blocks, or stones held together with mortar. Bricks are fired ceramic. Blocks are usually formed concrete. And stones are formed naturally and quarried from the earth. They are held together with mortar. Concrete is used as mortar, but concrete can also be poured to make slabs and foundations. I think the difference is that concrete can be used by itself without being considered masonry. For example, even statues can be made from concrete by pouring them into a mold.
Stone masonry may be broadly classified into the following two types:Rubble MasonryAshlar Masonry Rubble Masonry:The stone masonry in which either undressed or roughly dressed stone are laid in a suitable mortar is called rubble masonry. In this masonry the joints are not of uniform thickness.Rubble masonry is further sub-divided into the following three types:Random rubble masonrySquared rubble masonryDry rubble masonryRandom rubble masonry: The rubble masonry in which either undressed or hammer dressed stones are used is called random rubble masonry. Further random rubble masonry is also divided into the following three types:Un coursed random rubble masonry: The random rubble masonry in which stones are laid without forming courses is known as un coursed random rubble masonry. This is the roughest and cheapest type of masonry and is of varying appearance. The stones used in this masonry are of different sizes and shapes. before lying, all projecting corners of stones are slightly knocked off. Vertical joints are not plumbed, joints are filled and flushed. Large stones are used at corners and at jambs to increase their strength. Once "through stone" is used for every square meter of the face area for joining faces and backing.Suitability: Used for construction of walls of low height in case of ordinary buildings.Coursed random rubble masonry: The random rubble masonry in which stones are laid in layers of equal height is called random rubble masonry. In this masonry, the stones are laid in somewhat level courses. Headers of one coursed height are placed at certain intervals. The stones are hammer dressed. Suitability: Used for construction of residential buildings, go downs, boundary walls etc.Squared rubble masonry: The rubble masonry in which the face stones are squared on all joints and beds by hammer dressing or chisel dressing before their actual laying, is called squared rubble masonry. There are two types of squared rubble masonry.Coursed Square rubble masonry: The square rubble masonry in which chisel dressed stones laid in courses is called coarse square rubble masonry. This is a superior variety of rubble masonry. It consists of stones, which are squared on all joints and laid in courses. The stones are to be laid in courses of equal layers. and the joints should also be uniform. Suitability: Used for construction of public buildings, hospitals, schools, markets, modern residential buildings etc and in hilly areas where good quality of stone is easily available.Un coursed square rubble masonry: The squared rubble in masonry which hammer dressed stones are laid without making courses is called un coursed square rubble masonry. It consists of stones which are squared on all joints and beds by hammer dressing. All the stones to be laid are of different sizes. Suitability: Used for construction of ordinary buildings in hilly areas where a good variety of stones are cheaply available.Dry rubble masonry: The rubble masonry in which stones are laid without using any mortar is called dry rubble masonry or sometimes shortly as "dry stones". It is an ordinary masonry and is recommended for constructing walls of height not more than 6m. In case the height is more, three adjacent courses are laid in squared rubble masonry mortar at 3m intervals.
There are a few different types of masonry work. The types of masonry work are veneer, dry set masonry, solid masonry, brick masonry, concrete block, a-jacks, stonework, gabions, and bagged concrete.

Use for non-load application. Mix with sand to produce a mortar for bricks and blocks. Mix proportions by weight for TYPE N Mortar - 10 kg Masonry Cement - 35 kg Sand
How do you calculate cement mortar in 230mm thick brick
Depends on what the wall is made of. If it is brick, masonry anchots can be placed in the mortar joints between the bricks. You will need to drill the mortar with a masonry drill bit.

It is the process of applying wet mortar with pressure, on the masonry structures through nozzle.
Cement is just the powder used to make mortar and concrete. Mortar has sand in it.
They should be above grade, below grade or filled with mortar.
I would use type S mortar for vertical applications and portland cement for horizontal work. Portland will work for either but it is rough on your skin and hands.
it is typically 5 parts lime, 3 parts sand, 1 part cement, but varies depending on use and situation

Generally speaking, masonry joints are typically ground out to at least a depth of 3/4". If your mortar is unuaually soft or loose you may need to go deeper.
