Under the legal definition of the two terms the definition is virtually, if not actually, identical. Essentially they mean the same thing.
"A surety is a contract under which one person agrees to pay a debt or perform a duty if the other person who is bound to pay the debt or perform the duty fails to do so. Usually, the party receiving the surety's performance will first try to collect or obtain performance from the debtor before trying to collect from the surety. A surety is often found, for example, when someone is required to post a bond to secure a promise."
"A guaranty is a contract under which one person agrees to pay a debt or perform a duty if the other person who is bound to pay the debt or perform the duty fails to do so. Usually, the party receiving the guaranty will first try to collect or obtain performance from the debtor before trying to collect from the one making the guaranty (guarantor)."
A surety bond is a form of guarantee. Workers compensation is an insurance program. There is absolutely no relativity.
A bond in this context is issued by a surety company and is a form of guarantee. Security can take the form of a cash deposit, an Irrevocable Letter of Credit or a surety bond.
Surety is providing a guarantee for another party. A letter of surety is a document the confirms the terms and conditions of said guarantee.

Surety is a form of guarantee and "without surety" would imply that there is no guarantee in the case of some event occurs. An example would be where a county probate office accepts a bond of a notary public for filing and there is no "corporate" surety or no individaul to guarantee losses caused by acts of the notary that are contrary to law.
A non-surety bond is a guarantee by the signer for the amount of the bond. There is no cash or property required as collateral. In the court system, a non-surety bond can also guarantee a "promise to appear".
A counter guarantee is a guarantee given by the surety to the principle debtor providing him with continuing indemnity against the loss or damage that the surety may suffer on account of default on the part of the principle debtor
There are typically three parties involved in a surety bond: the principal (person/organization required to obtain the bond), the obligee (entity requiring the bond), and the surety (company providing the financial guarantee). The principal purchases the bond to assure the obligee that they will fulfill their obligations, with the surety company backing this guarantee.
