Yes. There are currently 2 types of pets in game. Warlocks receive "Demon Pets" whcih are summoned beings that perform their masters bidding. There are various kinds of pets for different playing conditions. The summoned pet is always the same level as it's master. Hunters have the ability to charm pets, which if fed and cared for will perform their master's bidding. Hunters have to take great care in keeping their pets well fed and happy otherwise they might turn on them.

They will very likely be very similar in skills; however, the Hunters will have additional abilities with those weapons that are unique to the class. This will ultimately make them more powerful with ranged weapons.

There are some spells which can be cast while "on the move."
4.0.13 What is 'cast time'? (0 comments) This is the amount of time it takes to cast a spell. When you are casting, a Progress Indicator appears ,letting you know how much time remains. If you attack, the Progress Indicator drops, delaying the casting of the spell. You can continue to cast or you can drop the spell by moving. Getting hit by an interrupting ability will also drop your spell.
Many spells must be maintained or "channeled" to achieve their full effect. This applies mainly to mass-damage area-effect spells (Blizzard is an example of such a spell), although there are a few other spells that also require channeling. You will know a spell requires channeling when a progress bar appears with the word "Channeling" in it. If you are interrupted by moving, attacking, being attacked, or if you try casting something els, or being interrupted by a monster the spell will not be completed and you will have to try casting it again.
No, some are instantly cast. Instantly cast spells cannot be interrupted or delayed.
4.0.16 If moving cancels my spell, does that mean I can't cast and run at the same time? (0 comments) Some abilities can be cast while you're running. However, most require you to be standing still. The warning message that appears when you are unable to cast a spell will let you know if you must stand still, or what other error is causing you to be unable to cast the spell.
Like many abilities, spells can have cooldown times. This is the amount of time that needs to pass before you can cast the same spell again. This time is fixed by the spell name, and not dependent upon your mana reserves or other variables. Mousing over the spell will indicate the amount of time remaining in the cooldown timer.
A Leash Spell is an ability in which your character lassos the target with a stream of spell effect. Life Drain is an example of a Leash spell. You must be within range to cast and if your target moves too far away the spell will cancel (it will be out of leash range) before it reaches its full effect.
Most abilities and spells require that you be facing the target and that you can see it. You may receive a LOS message, indicating that you need to move to get a better view.
4.0.20 What is a 'dispel' or 'de-buff'? (4 comments) A de-buff is a hostile spell that is cast on the enemy, or cast by monsters on yourself. Spells like these do damage over time, or modify your character in a negative way. You will need to remove these abilities with a "Remove Curse", "Dispel" or any abilities that provide a similar effect. Short of that, you will simply have to wait until the de-buff's timer is up, and it goes away by itself, which is much more common.
These are spell components (special items) that you need to have in your inventory in order to cast some spells. If you do not have the item, you cannot cast spells that require that item.
Yes, when your spell is resisted you will see "resist" displayed. Higher level creeps have a better chance of resisting your spell than lower level ones.
Players can not autocast spells, however pets are able to automatically cast.
New spells can be found by visiting trainers or in books which are dropped by monsters. You can also find them by completing quests or purchasing them from other players.
