Is there any difference between the davincikit and superkit?

Depends which superkit you are thinking of (V2 or V3). There are items in the DaVinci that seem to be missing from the superkit, such as the RFID, the keypad, ultrasonic range module, joystick and others. The DaVinci kit consists of a set of projects you can work through. I've done the LED project and the LED bar so far, planning to do the LCD display next and you can combine with the Minecraft API if you like too. On the other hand, the superkit seems to have a case for your project. Hope this helps.

Do you have to solder things together?

I Have the DaVinci kit but I think this kit will be the same. You get a breadboard and lots of jumper cables so no soldering is required (I should add that I haven't built all of the experiments yet but all the ones I have built use the breadboard).

Do I need to buy the raspberry pi or anything else to work this? Buying as a present for a kid that wants to learn to code

This kit only comes with the electronic components. It does not include the Raspberry Pi 3 or 4. These have to be purchased separately from this kit. Raspberry Pi 4's and 3's are sadly very expensive at the moment due to current supply chain issues... If your kid wants to learn how to code (and understand electronics) consider getting the ELEGOO Uno R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit also available on Amazon instead. This comes with the Arduino Uno and a similar set of electronic components however uses C++ instead of Python. Despite being C++ opposed to Python, it is a bit easier to get started with. In either scenario, I would recommend checking out the Paul McWhorter YouTube series. He has a "Raspberry Pi Series for Absolute Beginners" (covering this kit or the slightly upgraded version of this kit) and he has a "New Arduino Tutorials" (covering the ELEGOO Uno R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit) playlist. His YouTube series is free to access and he is one of the best instructors that I have came across. You and your kid will likely learn a lot more looking and following along with his tutorials and homeworks then using the manuals. Once you and your kid have went though the Arduino series, and the supply chain issue with Raspberry Pi's are addressed, it is worthwhile purchasing a Raspberry Pi 4B and the upgraded version of this kit.

I got this for Christmas, where do you start, there are no instructions?

There’s a few manuals that come with it to get you started :)
