Difference between Pin (Punya) and Kusal(Kushala)?
score:2
Pin(Punya) and Kusal are both same. Pin means that which purifies the mind. Kusala means that which is born of wisdom or that which counters defilements. The good deeds that lead to birth in heavenly realms are called Wattagamini-Kusala and the good deeds that lead to Nibbana are called Viwattagamini-Kusala. Here's an explanation by ven. Nauyane Ariyadhamma Thera.

Kusala, wholesome, is an advantage mind and mental factors. It is the advantage because it must causes both present and future advantage resultants, KusalaVipāka.
Kusala can arise without Puññā, i.e. a boy gives a gift to a poor man just on demand, but Puññā can't arise without Kusala because Puññā without Kusala is the ignorant, Aññāṇa. Aññāṇa is the root of Akusalā, unwholesome, and causes the advantage resultants.
Paññā = understand the fact: causes&effects, the dependent origination, Paṭṭhāna.
Paṭivedha = Paññā.
Paṭivedha = understand through the fact relation: causes&effects.
Ñāṇa = Expert Paññā.
Dassana = View, Understood, Diṭṭhi (vision), Cakkhu (eye).

See puñña and kusala, Nyom Achala Dissanayake
And no, it's not right to say that all kusala is or leads to the, or is on the path. The word Puñña, in and of it self, as well.
Both words should be seen in relation to the world and/or beyound, can be used for very worldily thing as well.
Puñña actually (lit.) means what gives/makes joy (long term). Kusala: ku (wrong) sala (uproots, cuts off) => that what uproots bad (in ones heart)

And what kinds of puñña are there?

What ever kusala or puñña is not based on "maha-metta", means is not based on right view, has no foot on the path to Nibbana for now.
