Answer 1

Passport control is the area of the airport where passports and other identification documents are verified by customs and immigration officials.  It basically checks that your are a ligitimate resident of the country of which you have a passport and that you are permitted to enter the country.

Customs is the area in which your baggage is screened and checked to make sure that you are not bringing anything into the country that is prohibited for entry.  You may also have to pay a duty on certain items that you are bringing with you if you are bringing more than the alloted amount.
