In general, the animal rights movement is a social reform movement aimed as having animals viewed as equal to humans. Animal rights advocates generally believe that animals should not be used by humans in any way (even as pets), though there are "animal rights" advocates who do not hold quite that drastic a belief. Some animal rights groups actually believe more in animal welfare than animal rights.

Yes, they mean the same thing. Animal rights is the ideology behind the animal liberation movement. Animal liberation is the ultimate goal of the movement, and the latter term is used more often because I think animal liberation sounds more radical and unsettling.
