Cite vs. cite
In LaTeX both the cite and Cite commands work and for me (using biblatex) and produce the same output.
What is the difference between the capitalized and non-capitalized version of cite, citauthor et.al.?

The difference between cite and Cite is the capitalization.
Cite should make sure that the citation starts with an uppercase letter and is thus appropriate for the beginning of a sentence. Note that biblatex can only capitalise those contents of cite/Cite that it has control over and that biblatex is fairly conservative in its application of capitalisation macros. That means that in practice only bibstrings and name prefixes ('von', 'van', ... etc.) are capitalised automatically.
Most of the time you won't see a difference because names are normally already capitalised, but if your name has a prefix, like 'van' in the example below, you'll see the difference.
documentclass{article}
usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
begin{document}
cite{vangennep}
Cite{vangennep}
end{document}
Another case where this becomes relevant are styles that replace consecutive citations of the same work with 'ibid':

usepackage[style=authoryear-ibid]{biblatex}
addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
