A teller's check is issued by a bank on behalf of a customer, using the customer's funds. A cashier's check is issued by the bank itself, using the bank's own funds.

cashiers check
Yes, you have to sign a cashiers check before you give it to a payee. Some cashiers checks do not have to be signed. If there is a space to sign, you need to sign.
You cannot generally change the payee on a cashiers check without it looking like fraud. Contact the issuer of the cashier's check in order to void the check and reissue.
It depends on if the bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or not. If you get a cashiers check from a bank that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, then that check is insured.
Go to a bank where you already have a banking relationship. Then ask the teller that you need to get a cashiers check issued. Normally a cashiers check will be preprinted with the 'Payable to' filled in, so you need to know who to make the check out to. They will deduct the amount from your bank account, so you need to have enough money in your account to cover it.
Take it to the bank whose address appears on the check (as the issuing bank) and see if a teller will cash it for you.
A certified check passes through certification process of the bank to verify that there are adequate funds to pay the check while a cashier's check is drawn by the bank against it's own funds
A bank issues a cashiers check,on behalf of a depositor, by setting funds aside from the depositor's account.
Walk into any bank, with enough cash or debit/credit card to pay for the check, plus a few bucks. When it's your turn, walk up to the teller's window, and teller you want a cashier's check. She'll punch the check, and print on it the name of who you want it paid to. Depending on the bank, it may cost you a dollar or two for the check ... of course, that's over and above the face value.

No, a teller's check and a cashier's check are not the same thing. A cashier's check is issued by a bank and is guaranteed by the bank's own funds, making it a secure form of payment. A teller's check, on the other hand, is typically drawn on the bank's own account but may be issued at the request of a customer and may not have the same level of guarantee as a cashier's check. Both are used for secure transactions, but they differ in their issuance and guarantees.
yes
There is no real difference, just different names for the same idea. A cashier's/bank/certified check is a check which a guarantor, normally a bank, has written in exchange for cash or immediate withdrawal from a depositor's account. The funds are collected in advance by the bank so the payee (to whom the check is payable) has guarantee that they will be paid when the check is properly negotiated.
