Standard tuning (starting with thickest string) is GDAE. A guitar typically has 6 strings and is a much larger bodied instrument with an approximate scale length of 24 inches.

Do mandolins and violins have the same fingerings?
Yep- the tuning of the strings and finger spacings are identical. I myself am a violin player, but bought a mandolin and was able to transfer all of my fave violin songs straight over. Some differences are there though- the mandolin has 8 strings (in pairs tuned identically, so you have 2 G strings right next to each other to increase sound), mandolins have frets (yay for perfect tuning) and to be able to class yourself as a mandolin player you need to learn chords too
