Two names for practically the same condition. Peak inverse is name whereby the maximum voltage can be sustained. Breakdown is actually the point where a reverse voltage is reached and reverse breakdown has occurred

When there is a break on the circuit what is the reading?

The typical answer is current is zero when there is a break in the circuit. It depends on the complexity of the circuit, there may be other paths for the current to flow, such that if there is a break in one part of the circuit, the rest of the circuit still has current flow (but a different value than designed). If you are reading voltage, and there is a break then that will change, also depending on the complexity. If it is a single loop, and you're reading voltage before the break, your voltmeter will read the same voltage as the voltage source, since there is no current flowing between any resistors between the meter and the source. If you're reading voltage after the break then the meter will read zero (0) volts.

What is difference between breakdown voltage and dielectric strength of transformer?

The dielectric strenght of a transformer represents the maximum voltage permissible to apply across the transformer insulation i.e. between the transformer winding to another part of the transformer, normally the chassis or another winding and without break-down of the insulation ocurring (e.g. arcing). The breakdown voltage of a transformer represents a voltage that exceeds its dielectric strenght and that causes breakdown e.g. arcing across the insulation.
