What is the difference between a deep water wave and a shallow water wave?

The basic differences are that the deep water wave "spreads out" and moves very quickly across open water. Wave height is not "significant" in these waves. When the wave reaches shallow water, however, it "slows down" at the leading edge. This causes the wave to "bunch up" and increase in height, even to dangerous proportions. A 20 or 30 metre high wave would devastate a shoreline, but would be hardly noticeable if it passed beneath a ship in deep water.

Is there a tide in a teacup?

Yes there are. There are tides in any open body of liquid, oceans, lakes, ponds, puddles... everywhere. In a teacup, the tidal effect is only about ten billionths of a meter deep but there is a difference between the two sides of a cup. FYI: that's about the size of a virus.
