Hi - I think everybody answered just about everything, so I'll try to hit what's left.
Cilantro and parsley are totally different (though cilantro is sometimes labeled "Chinese parsley"). You could sub one for the other but the flavors would be completely disimilar.
Soft and silken tofu are not the same. You could probably get away with using a firm silken tofu (silken comes soft and firm) where soft tofu is called for. But, you can't use soft tofu where silken is called for.
You won't see fresh silken tofu very often - it's usually packaged in little aseptic boxes (kinda like soy milk, but much smaller bricks). They hide it in the produce section at many grocery stores.
Tofutti is actually a Canadian company. So I'd guess it has to be available there, though I don't know which stores.
Balsamic vinegar is made from grape juice. It's thicker, milder, and sweeter than most vinegars. Grocery stores usually carry it with the cider vinegars.
