I'll answer this by saying that that is WAY too broad of a question.
The games are completely different. Limit is about math and being mechanical, where NL is more about feel and making moves. Skilled players can get away with playing a lot more hands preflop in NL, but they would get crushed playing those exact same hands in limit in the long run. Because of the fixed betting limits, the implied odds just aren't there to run with almost any two cards, so some people are capable of doing successfully in NL.
Cash games and tourneys are very different as well. The most important difference, of course, is that when you bust out of a cash game, you can reload. In a tourney, you are done and that's the end for you. Fortunately, this is true for your opponents too, which results in a completely different situations than you find in cash games.
