Visual Basic is the language, is there a software with the same name?
Also, in Visual Studio, you can create Visual Basic projects, but they look different than those created using Visual studio enterprise.

This seems to be a misunderstanding: there are two different languages (Visual Basic (VB) and VB.NET) as well as different tools (IDEs - Integrated Developer Environments) like Visual Studio 6 for development with VB and Visual Studio 20xx for development with VB.NET / C#.
The VB is a very old language and will not support, that makes no sense to lern it any more. That is why the Visual Studio 6 isn't the point of interest as well.
You can start with VB.NET or (may be better) with C#, the difference between this two languages is not so big ... To start with development you can take the free-of-charge version of Visual Studio e.g. Visual Studio Community* or Visual Studio Express.

The language is the same, but the tools and features you get are different. Both can create fully functional programs. This link tells you what you will get additionally in Enterprise (Mostly database related utilities).
