The common 9mm cartridge is known by many names. All of the following 9mm's are one and the same: 9x19mm, 9mm Nato, 9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum. There are no 9mm cartridges specific to Glock or Smith & Wesson.

Many people are afraid that the new administration will raise the taxes on ammuntion to the point where you will have to be willing to spend a dollar or more for a round of ammunition. .380 is not as popular anymore as the 9mm round is, as well as the Military uses 9mm, so they make more of it than they do .380. I have heard that one of the main manufacturers of .380 ammo was shutdown in leu of the more popular 9mm round. As for the Government, I am sure they will try anyway they can to get firearms and ammo out of a Legal Citizens hands.
No, they are two different cartridges. 9mm is a semi-automatic cartridge and .38 caliber is a revolver cartridge. As a general rule, no ammo is "interchangeable" with other ammo.

There are numerous handguns that will fire more than one caliber or type of ammo. The Taurus Judge will fire .410 shotgun ammo or .45 Colt ammo. Smith and Wesson has just started producing a gun similar revolver called the Governer that will fire .410, .45 Colt, or .45 ACP. You can fire .38 special in any gun that is chambered in .357 magnum (but not vice-versa) or .44 special in a gun chambered for .44 magnum (but not vice-versa). Also there are other types. There is a very rare revolver called the Medusa that will fire anything in the .38 or 9mm family, including 9mm Kurz (380), 9x19mm, 38 special, and .357 magnum.
