Bach english suite 1 bourree 1 question (trill vs mordent...)

The sheet can be found at:

p. 12

I am confused between trill (measure Cool

and inverted mordent (or is it the same as trill? measure 16).
On the sheet they look similar (except that the trill symbol measure 8 has one more line)
The version that I have found on youtube is playing them differently:

However, on http://www.iment.com/maida/familytree/henry/music/bachnotation.htm
they clearly state that those two symbols both indicate trill.

Please help me get this straight.
Should I play the inverted mordent (or whatever their called) starting on the note above and trilling or starting on the very note and playing the above and then the note (inverted mordent).

If I am supposed to trill, how would you play the second measure of the first end section (start a trill on a note that has just previously been played in 8th note)? Would you quickly switch finger or play with the same finger?

Thanks
