There is only one Jewish Orthodox Sect; there are many Orthodox movements. The difference is that sects generally hold that the other sect's beliefs are invalid, whereas movements hold that the differences are stylistic and therefore cultural, not heretical.
The reasons for the differentiation in Orthodox movements is similar to the reason that there are a variety of Protestant movements. Without a unifying figure, different cultural traditions became the source of independent cultural norms. These norms are called Minhagim in the Orthodox context. Additionally, because of the politics involved in having a Jewish State, Orthodox communities have divided into movements according to their belief of how best to negotiate the issue of a Jewish State.

Do Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues?
Orthodox Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues. Non-Orthodox Jewish men would be likely to go to non-Orthodox places of worship. In Israel, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, there are prevalent numbers of non-Orthodox or Liberal synagogues. As a result, people in those places who are themselves Liberal can often find a Liberal synagogue in which to worship. Outside of those four countries, it is very rare to find a Liberal synagogue, so Jews of all religiousities (both Liberal and Orthodox) go to Orthodox synagogues for prayer, but will not perform all of the Orthodox Mitzvot when not in synagogue.
