The two are only related by their tectonic origin. They are alike only in that they cause destruction and can be triggered by earthquakes.
A volcano is a landform, often a mountain, created by the upwelling of liquid rock (magma) through cracks in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes can cause eruptions, or be caused by eruptions, when lava, steam and ash are released from underground.
A tsunami is a large wave, usually in the ocean, that is created by a movement in the ocean crust: moving the ocean floor. This is typically accompanied by an earthquake, both the quake and tsunami centered on the same area.

What is the difference between a crater and a vent?
When you see a volcano there are usually if it is not dormant, hot air flumes, these are emitted by vents. Vents are part of the volcano and are mostly in the crater. A crater is a cup shaped hole, made by the previous eruption. Craters are also caused when an explosion happens.
What is the difference between a tiltometer and a seismometer?
A tiltometer measures the bulging of a volcano, which is how much the volcano is 'growing' wider and wider due to the magma chamber within a volcano filling with magma, if the tiltometer is reading that the volcano is bulging massively then this could be because it is about to errupt so it can be used to predict volcanic eruptions. A seismometer on the other hand measure tremors before an eruption due to magma movement and it can be used to predict earthquakes due to foreshocks.
