They are very similar and often use the exact same movement! However, 'until' is typically used for time concepts, while 'to' is used for locations or directions. The context of your sentence will make the meaning clear.
Yes, the standard sign for 'until' uses the '1' handshape, which means only your index fingers are extended on both hands. Using other handshapes would change the meaning or make the sign unclear to others.
