How do the BIOS clock and the Operating System clock interact, and how do they differ?
Upon boot-up, the BIOS clock provides a time to the Operating System, at which point they become independent of each other and can differ even if by only milliseconds.

Will the Operating System clock and the BIOS clock differ? If so, how can you re-synchronize them?
Yes, by the nature of the software they eventually drift. The command hwclock can be used to re-synchronize the system clock and the operating system clock.
