What was the total war and how did grant us it against the south?

Total war in the south implied destroying everything...scorched earth policy...digging up the farms, bending railroad ties around trees, leveling brick buildings, killing livestock, etc. Total war in Vietnam would've implied the use of atomic weapons...consequently, total war was NOT deployed during the Vietnam War...Vietnam was a limited war...fought limited to conventional NON-ATOMIC weapons.

What type of weapons did us army and South Vietnam use during TET Ofensive?

The exact same types which were in use throughout the entire Vietnam War. With the exception of some weaponry left over from the French colonial era, most weapons and weapons used by the Republic of Vietnam were US-sourced. As for which weapons, you could narrow it down by limiting it to certain types - weapons range from small arms to armoured vehicles to artillery pieces to aircraft and the munitions they drop, and a complete list would be much too long to feasibly post on here.

What difference exist between world war 2 and the Vietnam war?

WWII was a TOTAL and Declared war. Meaning ALL weapons were used, including atomic weapons; total surrender of the enemy was sought...no peace agreements...surrender or face total destruction. Vietnam was a LIMITED war and not declared. Meaning NO atomic weapons would be used (although there were plans to use them, when given the order) and congress would not declare formal war as that implied the use of atomic weapons (implied total war). The enemy in Vietnam (North Vietnam) would not face total destruction but could end the conflict by a peace agreement.
