Both are based on information that is discoverable before trial as put forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b). Both are relatively inexpensive means of gathering information that can be used for trial preparation (although not all information will necessarily be admissible in a trial).
Interrogatories are described under Rule 33. They allow a party to ask the opposing party questions to clarify matters of fact or applications of law to fact. Parties may argue over the fundamental importance and application of matters from interrogatories and may be contradicted by other pieces of evidence. They are used primarily to identify potentially relevant witness and locations of information (or limited specific information) that was not a part of original disclosure. These often lead to further requests for specific documents or allow the requesting party to more carefully focus attention on relevant issues.
Requests for Admission, Rule 36, relate to the same type of issues as interrogatories, but are more like pleadings; an admission takes a matter entirely out of controversy. Admissions can be used as an efficient way to address ambiguous answers from an opposing party. Problems may arise if the admission in question is at the fundamental core of the dispute ("did you maintain your sidewalk negligently?") Once answered, if agreed upon, admissions are not disputed by other evidence.
Examples:
Interrogatory:
"Were there any employee statements taken at the time of the event or in the three weeks immediately subsequent to the event?"
"If so, include exact copies of said statements if in writing, and set forth in detail any such oral statements or reports."
Admission:
"Where is your principal place of business?"
"When was the sidewalk originally installed?"
A deposition is similar to an interrogatory in that both sides are allowed to ask questions of possible witnesses and anyone else related to the case, but there is a big difference. A deposition is completed in person and under oath.

Depending on state laws, you have 30 days to file answers to them, if you fail to do so they can be deemed true and not contested and a judgment against you will be put before a judge.

You can but it would not be wise. The Custody Interrogatories Form in the state of N.J gives the judge a idea of how you plan on rasing the child if you were awarded custody.

The party posing the interrogatories can file a motion to "compel" (force you) to answer. Interrogatories are part of the "discovery" part of a lawsuit, so that all the information is known to both sides before any trial. There is no longer any "trial by ambush or surprise" like in the Perry Mason shows!
