Believe it or not, general surgery is considered a medical surgical specialty. A general surgeon would have trained specifically for that scope of practice so it is hard to compare two specialties.
It is, however, common for general surgeons to undertake a more specialised role (i.e. cardiovascular surgeon). In most institutions, you will have to start from scratch and restart your surgeon's training.

A "general" surgeon means that he is one who is not specialized on any one particular area of practice (i.e.: he does 'general' surgery). They should be capable of operating on anyone, regardless of age. A 'pediatric' surgeon, on the other hand, is one who limits his practice strictly to children and does not take on adult patients. Depending on the surgery being performed one should be as capable as the other.
