What is the difference between the diesel and the gasoline?

The difference between diesel fuel and gasoline is the amount of refining that occurs to the oil. There are many different "flavors" of oil that are pumped out of the ground in varying locations. Depending on the oil that is pumped out, it's easier to use the oil for various different purposes. Furthermore, oil is then refined in large facilities call oil refineries. Gasoline is more refined than diesel fuel, which is the main difference between the two, as far as I know.

Is diesel oil and diesel the same?

Diesel fuel is often referred to as "diesel oil" or "heavy oil". Do not confuse this with "engine oil for a diesel engine" which means "lubricating oil specially formulated for use in diesel engines". My first Ford Fiesta diesel's tax disc said - "Fuel - Heavy Oil". They've now realised that this term is anachronistic, and my latest tax disc reads "Fuel - Diesel". To be pedantic - Diesel fuel is an oil - Petrol is a spirit.
