1. Какая разница между буквами "а" и "б"? "A" is a vowel (like "ar" in English) and "б" is a consonant (like English "b").
2. There is no big difference between these words. They have nearly the same meaning.
"Теперь" is used in MORE broad sense, "сейчас" is used in a narrow sense (even look at the word: "сей" means "this", "час" means "hour"). So I think when you mean "nowadays" and "now" as much time (month, year and etc), it's better to use "теперь". For example:
Теперь я живу в России - Nowadays I live in Russia (I've gone to Russia a year ago and now live here).
But "сейчас" (I've explained you what does it mean word-for-word) is usually used when the speech is about the specific time. And usually it's not too much. For example:
"Сейчас я читаю книгу" - Now I'm reading the book (at this moment).
Anyways we don't pull our legs with such things and OFTEN use the same words in both meanings.
P.S. I corrected your word to show that you're learning Russian instead of English right NOW.
