key to understanding
way to transport something

It's the difference between the grammar of 'key' and the grammar of 'way'. 'key to' is followed by a noun or -ing form. 'way to' is followed by the plain form of a verb.

But the word 'to' is preposition in the both ' key to ' and 'way to ' and should be followed by a noun (a noun or gerund ) ,how would I know that 'to' when acts as a preposition ,shoul

It's the word before the preposition that is important. You just have to learn how each one is used as you meet it.

No. The 'to' in 'way to' is the word that indicates "infinitive" when it has one of its several meanings.

way to go, way to run, way to eat, way to learn, way to say something (when it means "manner of doing something")
way to the bank, way to the post office

It's unclear what you are asking for. What do you mean by "finding differences"?
