Who is the founder of cristinanity?
Ultimately, the founder was Jesus Christ. However, one could also argue that it was the apostles of Christ who preached the teachings of Jesus. Jesus never said "I want to make a new religion and it will be called Christianity". It is important to understand that Christianity is seen as a renewal of Gods covenant (agreement) with the Jewish people, and therefor stems directly from it. In order to understand the fullness of Christianity, you must have a basic understanding of Judaism. The "New Testament" should also be seen as a continuation of the Jewish Bible or "Old Testament". Like most things, Christianity has had organic changes throughout its history and has grown into what we see it as today

How did popular Buddhism compare with original Buddhist teachings?
I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, to which is the tradition I practice, added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.
