No difference other than derivation. Tsar comes from Russian, czar from Latin. Both mean the same thing.

well, it's short for "Ceasar"
that's where they got it from. According to my college history professor. I took History of Russia in college. Fascinating class.

That's what i was taught too. the Cyrillic alphabet might be the cause for the two spellings though
