Buddhism was started by the Buddha who was a rich Hindu prince. However, he wanted to realize the Truth. He wanted Enlightenment. Therefore, he turned away from Hinduism, which had led to the division of society, created the caste system and other malpractices and ills including meaningless rituals and superstitions. The young prince went in quest of Enlightenment, and he realized the light within. He realized that we are not this body, we are not this mind and he called it Nirvana. It was the same belief advocated by the ancient Hindus through Sanatana Dharma but he gave it a new name. He removed all the ills that Hinduism had acquired. So essentially, Buddhism has grown from the original Hindu faith called Sanatana Dharma.

There are no classical schools of Buddhism that do both. The Pali Tripitaka is the center of Theravadin Buddhism, however historical study of the Buddha is not a part of the tradition -- though no doubt there are some Theravadins who have an interest.
The historical study of the Buddha seems to progress mostly in scholarly circles.
You might try searching out Skeptical Buddhism if you're interested in finding a group that is interested in both the Tripitaka and the historical study of the Buddha. (Facebook has an active group.)

Nirvania is a goal in Dhamric religions were someones soul(atman/jiva) escapes the cycle of life and death(is not reincarnated) and returns to the soul true havenly home,free of all suffering and problems, called Nirvania/brahmin/wahuguru
To achieve Nirvania, someone must be a strong disciple of one particular sant/satuguru, as he is an enlightened and blessed soul(at one with god) and once someone has finished their human life, he comes and collects the soul and walks it back to Nirvania.The sant/aatguru can even tell someone if they are going to attain Nirvania or not and tell them why they are not getting closer to the goal and how they can improve. Other than that all that is needed to achieve the goal is medation and its values.
When someone is accpeted as a discple of sant/satguru it is called name bajan.
