Basic answer is: Express is free, anything else you have to pay for.

That applies to both VS and SQL.

The actual difference between the Express version and the various paid for versions depends on the Version number: VS2010 versions have different parts compared to VS2012 for example.

Have a look at the Microsoft site: a quick google for "Visual Studio xxxx differences" where "xxxx" is the version number will normally find you a list of differences perry easily, and the same for SQL.

From what I've seen, the Express versions are sub-components (for the most part) of the paid versions.

Not quite - they tend to have some restrictions (like maximum memory it will use, or number of CPUs in SQL Express), and don't include whole features (like TFS in the case of some VS versions for example) but they are fully usable products for all that.

Not a simple answer to this since the product has been changing over the years. It used to be a lot more simple to answer, used to be that the free version lacked MFC support and you couldn't do remote debugging, but now there's a lot more options. Easiest thing to do is pick a version (newest stable is usually the way to go) and then look at the options for each version from their website.
