Tombolos are formed when a wave circles around

a small land mass(that includes rocks)and collide between the small land mass and the big land mass.

That builds up sand between the small land mas and the big one creating a tombolo.Old tombolos can have trees growing on it!

See some Tombolos in Hong Kong, china! here:

What is the difference between tombolo from the peninsula?

I am not entirely sure, but I think it may have to do with the connecting mass. Tombolos are usually connected by a sandbar, which is more prone to geographical effects and can be more effected by waves and tides. Peninsulas are connected by more "solid" land masses such as solid ground that are not as prone to being shifted around. Also, peninsulas have to be connected to a mainland, whereas tombolos can be connected to other islands as well as a mainland.
