An airless sprayer works pretty much like a squirt gun. The paint is pumped by the sprayer through a nozzle where it's broken up into fine, fine droplets. An air paint sprayen hasn't got a pump, it relies on a steady supply of pressurized air to force the paint through a nozzle instead.

It depends on what you are spraying. If you're spraying high volumes of paint, or are applying materials that are thick, then an airless sprayer would work best. If you are doing lower volume work with thinner paints like alkyd oils, lacquers or automotive enamels, then a cup gun, either HVLP or high pressure air would work better.

With practice, not much. If you don't know what you are doing, considerably more could be sprayed on the wall without realizing it.
