I was able to translate the terms as friend. Is there any difference in
meaning between the 2 terms?

question
meaning word-choice
Is there a difference between tomo and tomodachi?
友｛とも｝ 'tomo' is basically not used in everyday modern Japanese. You may
sometimes encounter it in literary writing, or in fiction to make a character
sound archaic. 友達｛ともだち｝ 'tomodachi' is the ordinary casual word for 'friend'.
You can use it in most situations, though formally you can also say 友人{ゆうじん｝
'yuujin'.
