In layman language:

Web application: If you can think of a site where you create an account, log in, and conduct some actual business, it’s probably a web application So a web application is a web site that DOES something other than display content to the user. It’s intended for user interactions and transactions, performing actual business functions, and not simply displaying information to users. Some example of web application

GMail,Facebook,Ebay,Twitter,YouTube

Web site: Web site usually use for dispaly information .They have less or no interaction with users, so we can say Websites are informational by neture. Some example of web site

Nokia.com,Songspk

For development point of view

The Microsoft best described this on there website here here Please take a look on following table- enter image description here

Yes there is difference between web-app projects and website projects.

Text from the MSDN :

In Visual Studio you can create Web application projects or Web site projects. Each type of project has advantages and disadvantages, and it is helpful to understand the differences between them in order to select the best project type for your needs. You must select the appropriate project type before you create a project, because it is not practical to convert from one project type to the other.
