They're the same disease except that walking pneumonia is just a milder form of it. People who have it can continue their daily activities so that's why it's called walking pneumonia. They are not sick enough to be laid up. Yes, it can turn into regular pneumonia if the person doesn't receive treatment for it or doesn't care for him or herself properly.

Yes and it can kill you.
There are several types of pnuemonia: viral and bacterial being the main one's that are airborn and passed on to others.
