There was no influence none whatsoever
Answer:
As Buddhism preceded Christianity by some 500 years and there was trade between the Mediterranean world and the far east there is every potential for ideas of Buddhism to be adopted into Jewish and Christian culture. The Greeks were influenced by Buddhism from their time in India and are in the same geographical area as the Jewish peoples. People often point to the commonality of some ideas in world religions (e.g. the Golden Rule) and it is easy to think that this was spread from one religion ot another rather than arrived at independently.

The Buddha (Siddharta Gautami, also called Shakyamuni), lived 1100 years before the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), and 500 years before Jesus. His teachings are similar to those found in deep esoteric Judaism (for example, Kabbalah), and are also similar to those found in the Holy Q'uran, especially where teachings about kindness are concerned. However, the similarities are largely due to revelations of truth being universal, rather than any particular influence. There is no credible evidence that Buddhism ever had deep influence on Islam.

How did popular Buddhism compare with original Buddhist teachings?
I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, to which is the tradition I practice, added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.
