A limit is the value of the function as it approaches a given input. Simple example is limit as f(x) = 2x -> 2 would just be f(2) = 2(2) = 4.

A derivative is the slope of a function. Again taking f(x) = 2x which is just a straight line with a slope of 2 the derivative of it is just 2. For a more complex function like f(x)= x^2 the derivative is no longer just a single number because the slope of the this function changes so it derivative is 2x.
