What is the difference between a hammer drill and a percussion drill?
"Hammer drill" and "percussion drill" are different names for the same tool.
In addition to the rotary drilling motion, they use a pair of cam plates to create high frequency in and out motion of the chuck. This helps when drilling brittle materials like masonry, stone, etc.
Rotary hammers do a similar motion, but instead of cam plates, they use a pneumatic hammer mechanism which is much lower in frequency but with much more power and stroke.
Impact drills are quite different:
They have a mechanism which takes effect at high torque loads which makes the rotation "stutter". There is no in and out motion of the chuck. The effect is somewhat similar to an impact wrench.

How do you hammer a screw without hitting your finger all the time?
You don't hammer screws. You hammer nails.
The trick is to hold the nail just below the top. Then start tapping very gently. After a few taps the nail will stand up on its own. Then gently increase the strengh of the taps. This will alow your brain to get used to where the nail is. Also the nail will become stronger the further into the wood it goes.
The most important thing is to be patient. Don't try to knock it in in three blows.
If it's in a difficult place to hold the nail, I hold the nail in place with a small pair of pliers. Some people do hammer screws, just to put them in at the right place and then continue with a screwdriver.
