Answer 1

I think the syndrome one is something that happens just once.  Disorder sounds more like something that someone is prone to.  Like they keep having with anything bad that happens to them.

There's no difference. Post traumatic stress syndrome is another name for  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
