What is the difference between the clay and the sculpting clay?

I'm not sure what you mean by "sculpting clay". Entering the term in Amazon search, it shows mostly air-dry single part clays. These clays set by means of evaporating their water component. The result is usually rather brittle, and generally shrinks. Apoxie sculpt is an epoxy-based clay. I comes in two parts that have to be mixed together. The resulting clay then sets due to a chemical reaction between the two parts. The resulting set substance resembles hard plastic: It is slightly flexible and can be sanded, drilled, cut, glued (using epoxy or super glues), painted, and otherwise modified. I have observed little to no shrinking of this product. Also, in the uncured form it is somewhat adhesive and the set product generally adheres to whatever it was molded to/on. I use waxed paper to keep-free-sculpted parts from sticking to the base surface.

What's the consistency of this like during the working phase? Is it like a modeling clay, or hot glue, or somewhere in between?

It is much like modeling clay except that it begins to cure after about two hours and becomes more difficult to work with. However you can shape, drill, sand etc after it is cured.

How much volume do you get?

Combined, the volume of both parts totals 300mL, which is a little less than a cup-and-a-quarter.

can this be used with a fiberglass cloth the same as a more liquid resin?

This is not liquid at all, more the consistency of natural clay. It can be thinned with water once part A and part B are kneaded together. You can always make a small test to see if it suits your needs.
