Well it wasn't made by the US Navy, it doesn't allow for clearnet traffic, it allows torrenting over the protocol. I'm sure there are other differences too.

Originally, yes. It was made to help people in countries with censorship get around censorship.

Nowadays it's maintained by the Tor Project.
