Re: E^o(cell) vs. Ecell
Eocell is the standard state cell potential, meaning the condition of [1M] for solutes or 1 bar for gases is met. Ecell is the cell potential at non standard state conditions. You can use the Nernst equation to find Ecell using Eocell.

Re: E^o(cell) vs. Ecell
They are generally the same, but E(nought) is just the cell potential at standard conditions.

Re: E^o(cell) vs. Ecell
E^ocell just means the cell potential at standard state. Ecell is the nonstandard state conditions.

E^o Cell is the cell potential at standard state, which doesn't change based on concentration (or any other reason, only having its sign switched if the reaction is reverse) while E cell is not at standard conditions and changes.

Re: E^o(cell) vs. Ecell
E^o is the cell potential in standard conditions. E^cell is when it is in non standard conditions and that's when you use the nernst equation.
