Answer 2

Breeches are made to be worn with tall boots.  They have tapered legs to fit tightly to the legs.  Often, they'll have a velcro closure on the bottom end so you can adjust them to fit more closely, so they'll fit under the boots better.  The usually end a few inches above the ankle.

Jodphurs are made to be worn with jodphur boots, usually called paddock boots.  They are longer, ending just above the shoe, usually with a cuff, and aren't tightly fitted at the ankle.  They're more informal, and usually used in shows by children.  You can wear them under tall boots as well, but the boots'll be harder to get on, and the jods may wrinkle, which gives an uncomfortable ride.
