I understand one is a vertical pull and the other a horizontal but is there a difference in the muscles worked?

The same targeted muscles, although different ROM, angles and different emphasis on assistance muscles. Also it depends on how you do your pullups (grip width) and BORs (Yates' and Pendlay's being both extreme sides of that exercise).
But basically rows work your trapezius harder and vertical pulling has more ROM for lats.

Same prime movers but there are differences in accessory ones. For example: the lower chest can help with vertical pulls, but in a row it's proooobably not going to.
What the muscles do is also a bit different. In a vertical pull the rhomboids rotate the scaps down, in horizantal they retract them.
Is on to something. Lower traps are retractors in rows (along with mid and upper, moreso with the 45deg Yates-style) and scap depressors in pull ups.
As for abs, that depends on your torso alignment in a pull up (it's possible to arch your back a huge deal and not use abs) but yeah you can work them as isometric core stabilizer. Less so in rows which are dominated by lower back stabilization.
