Not every signal has its fourier transform. There are two conditions a signal must satisfy in order to have reversible fourier transormation.

For the existence of Fourier transform, I think just the function should be absolutely integrable.

Actually, either a signal or it's square must be absolutely integrable. See Dirichlet statements about this topic.

The Laplace transform simply avoids the use of Dirac distributions. Otherwise there isn't much difference. For example, initial conditions in differential equations are more easily taken care of with the Laplace transform.
