Bitty Buffy!
Isn't YouTube a fabulous thing?
Unaired Buffy Pilot
Lots of different actors - different Flutie, chubby 'Willow' (who looks like she's 16 going on 40. I know a lot of people don't like AH, but Willow wouldn't have been the same without her... can you imagine this girl turning dark?), no Jesse, no Angel. Lots of extras (like all the various groups that Xander points out).
Completely different library (and I love the way Buffy flips down the tall stairs), Giles is a delight and there's a lot more back-story to Buffy, but less about vampires. The storyline is a lot simpler - no Luke, no Master, no Harvest. Quite a few cool scenes with Buffy, and she seems to be lost in thought a lot, and yet to relish her powers more. Not quite as closed off as she comes across in WttH.
Was there more? Can't remember and I also have to run. Will do my best to catch up with comments asap.

Now about your points...
But her acting felt a bit stilted to me.
Yes, I agree with that. I think Buffy and Giles were probably the only ones that came across really well.
and hey, us chubby girls can go dark, really...
Hee! I've no doubt about that. I think it was definitely the whole character that was off... she didn't come across as a brilliant student either. At least Tara was comfortably curvaceous!
Either way, I'm really glad they added Angel.
Oh me too! Even though his acting (esp in WttH/The Harvest) is so wooden you could wittle stakes out of it. But yeah, Angel added mystery! :)
