The difference is that One is a Jewish Holiday and the other is a nonsense word.
The only two standard spellings are Hanukkah and Chanukah.
The only real difference is the language spoken in the home during the holiday. Otherwise, they are pretty much the same.
Hanukkah is older. Hanukkah celebrates an event that took place in 165 BCE. Christmas celebrates an event that took place in 4 BCE.
Hanukkah is a minor Jewish holiday that commemorates the victory of the Jews against the Assyrian-Greeks in the Maccabean War of 165 BCE. Good Friday is the day Jesus was executed.
There is no similarity whatsoever between Hanukkah and Eucharist. Eucharist is a Christian rite/sacrament, and Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the Maccabean War.
Generally speaking, yes. There are some minute differences in interpretation of Hanukkah between Israeli Jews and American Jews, but there is really no difference in how the holiday is observed.

Hanukkah begins on the 25th of the Hebrew month of Kislev ... the third month of the year that began in the Fall with Rosh Hashana. That places the beginning of Hanukkah typically somewhere between late November and mid-December. In 2010, the first day of Hanukkah coincides with December 2.
