What are the main difference between Hindu and Buddhist beliefs about enlightenment?
Hinduism was formed long before Buddhism was. In Hinduism there are two main paths to follow:
The path of Indulgence - basically the need to indulge and surrender your deepest desires.
The path of mortification - basically putting your body in pain and suffering to relieve your self of previous actions
for Buddism the path to enlightenment is known as the middle path. This is because Buddha was previously hindu. He created this path based on the four nobel truths:
1. life is suffering
2. suffering arises from desire
3. solution to suffering lies in curbing desires
4. to curb desires one must follow the eightfold path
which is:
1. right view
2. right intention
3. right speech
4. right action
5. right livelihood
6. right effort
7. right mindfulness
8. right concentration
I didnt go very in depth with the eightfold path, as that would be a very long essay, not an answer to a quick question so if you want more just look up the eight fold path.

Who is the most enlightened Buddhist?
One would think it was Siddhattha Gotama.

The difference between the enlightenment of Thathagathe Gouthame Buddha and the enlightenment of his disciples is that Thathagathe Gouthame Buddha attained enlightenment without the guidance of a teacher. Even though the Enlightenment attained is same among the Buddha, Pacchcheka Buddha and Maha Rahath there can be differences in qualities, personalities and abilities which depend on what each individual has cultivated.
