Is a bison cold or warm blooded?
Yes. The area they live in gets snow in the winter and the wind blows a lot all year around. The herds would move eating the grass. They ranged all over the center of the United States in the 1500's and there were 7 million at one point.
They can, most certainly! Though not as dangerous as a hippo, they certainly will go out of their way to attack you if you provoke them into doing it, whether you mean it or not.

How are Buffalo horns made into spoons?
Powder Horns are made by cleaning out the inside and sanding down the inside of the horn to make them lighter and translucent (so you can see the amount of powder in it when held up to the light). A hole is drilled from the pointed end into the hollow horn. The large end is plugged and the tip is finished with a removal plug. Buffalo horns are large diameter and heavy. I've seen one that was flattened so it appeared more like a flask. Otherwise, there is no real difference in making a powder horn from a buffalo horn.

How do bison differ from buffalo?
Not too much, really. Bison are commonly referred to as the large-humped, small hollow-horned, furry-headed beasts that existed by the millions on the Great Plains (called the Plains or American Bison I believe) and are also found up in northern Canada as Woodlands Bison. Bison of North America are also called Buffalo, but bison has been created as a more proper term, since there are "true" buffalo that exist in the world, such as the Cape Buffalo and the Water Buffalo, both found in Africa and India, respectively.
On the humorous side
There really isn't any difference, with the exception that you cannot wash your hands in a buffalo.
Think about it a bit. You have to be British to understand the differentiation.

They were shot and killed in vast numbers to the point where there were very few to no animals left.
