You will find some info out there on comparing DB2 with SQL Server.
Here's the main DB2 migration website:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/migration/
As for z/os concepts and terminology, you are talking about a different
world. There is just no one book or one link or one class. Some of what
you have heard is not really necessary to understand in the z/OS
environment as a DB2 DBA because there are others who's job it is to
manage that environment. There is a macro-level systems world (TSO,
SMP/E, DB2, IMS, z/OS, etc.) a micro-level systems world (control
blocks, storage, virtual memory, etc.) and a world within DB2. Perhaps
there is a z/OS textbook ... but I'm not sure you really need it as a
DB2 DBA.
