Omniscient just means "all-knowing" and limited means limited knowledge. The former is a narrator that can see into everyone's head and knows what all the characters are thinking and feeling; the latter sticks with one character.

Is third person limited and limited omniscient the same point of view?

The third person limited point of view and the third person omniscient are two different points of views. The third person limited is simply the point of view from one character in a story. Just like the first person point of view, they can only tell the story from a realistic observation point. What makes them different from the first person is that while first person speaks with "I" and "my" pronouns, third person will speak with "he" and "she" pronouns. So, their points of view is limited or subjected to what they observe. The third person omniscient has a type of "godly" view of everything, hence the word "omniscient." They know all that is happening, all that is in the head and feelings of the characters, and even more than the main character. They tell the story with all details that are not even known to the characters in the book.

What is the difference between omniscent point of view and limited point of view?

I will answer this question by relating the limited omniscient point of view to the omniscient point of view: The omniscient point of view feature a narrator who knows all including the feelings and thoughts of all the characters and details of everything related the world of the story, even information that the character themselves are unaware of. Now the LIMITED omniscient point of view is that of a narrator who has ALL the information of only ONE specific character in the story, but does not have that knowledge of any other characters or circumstances. Therefore they are all knowledgeable (omniscient)but this knowledge is limited to one character.
