  1. No difference, a rose by any other name. I just prefer ssl.
  2. If it's a well known certificate authority such as GoDaddy. Comodo, Symantec, etc., you might be able to get the intermediate and root certificates from them but would need the server certificate from the IT dept. If they are running their own certificate authority (Windows, etc.) for local use certificates, the IT dept. is likely your only source. It's possible that you can grab the certificate chain from a local SSL server but that is unlikely to give you the private key in an exportable form.
You might want to check Explaining the Chain of Trust for an explanation of server/intermediate/root certificates.
