TLS is an extension of SSL.
The differences between the two protocols are very minor and very technical, but they are different standards. TLS uses stronger encryption algorithms and has the ability to work on different ports.
TLS and SSL cannot exchange or use any information.
Yes, you can create your own SSL.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) cannot be operated with one another. They are similar in terms of security. Both are Internet security protocols and take care of the data to be encrypted and on;y then transmitted over the Internet.The major difference is that TLS allows secure as-well-as insecure connections over the same port whereas SSL requires a designated secure port.

When we talk about the difference between SSL and TLS, the main difference is the fact that TLS connections start with insecure connections to the server and later switch to secure connections after the connection between the server and the client is successful. Whereas, SSL connections proceed with the secured communications after they begin with security.

Self-signed certificates cannot be compared with the SSL certificates made by the companies. The SSL certificates made by the company are used by many and it can be considered as a tried and tested solution. When it comes to Self-signed certificates, it will be designed and used by you and hence you cannot consider it safe and reliable enough.
