Do all prisms have a square or rectangle as a base?
No they have to have a polygon as a base.
Two rectangular prisms that have the same volume and the same height would their base be different or the same?
They would have to have the same base area, if that's what you mean.
How are prisms and pyramid different?
To start off a pyramid has 1 base and the prism has 2 bases. The prism has more vertices than a pyramid.

not all prisms

How will you name different prisms and pyramids?
Most of the common ones have already been named, so I will not be naming any. Prisms and pyramids are named according to the 2-dimensional shape of their base(s). For example, triangular prism or square based pyramid.
