I think you mean ethics and not morals.
There are many ways to persuade people. You can control information flow. You can nudge people and optimize the nudging.
There are physical changes that affect moral behavior. A lot of variables from temperature to diet have effects on moral decision making in certain instances.
You can convince people through arguments.
Those terms are synonymous under standard usage.
Depends on your standards. Under my standard usage they are not synonyms. Morals specify the value systems (what you believe) and ethics specify practical decisions in real life (what you do).
