They are very similar. Both are options to purchase stock at a fixed price. Warrants are typically issued to institional investors in conjunction with another debt or equity investment, while options are typically stand-alone. (A stock option can also be an option to sell a stock at a fixed price. I have never seen a warrant that is an option to sell stock, but it is possible to draft such an agreement.)

How long does a company have before they have to distribute your Employee Stock Option plan?

The stock option plan does not get distributed. You have to take action to buy or sell your options. If you sell your options, you will get the amount that is the difference between what your option amount was for and what the stock sells for. For instance if you have an $8 stock option, sell it for $28, you will get a check for $20. This is per stock. This counts as income, so make sure you have taxes withheld if it is a large amount. You usually have 90 days to make the sale.
