There is no difference in the markup between a partial view and a view; the only difference is in how they are delivered to the browser. A partial view is sent via AJAX and must be consumed by JavaScript on the client side, while a View is a full postback. That's it.

Normally this means that a View is more of a complete web page and a partial view is reserved for individual sections or controls. Realistically, though, you can send the exact same .cshtml as a partial view or as a view.

The _ prepend is not necessarily an indicator for a partial view, in MVC.NET views it's just natively used for _Layout and _ViewStart. I personally use it to indicate sections of my master page, but that's a personal convention.
