differences between solve and PDEtools:-Solve

Is there one place which summarizes major difference between using solve vs. PDEtools:-Solve to solve equation? (ofcourse can one read help for both commands, and try to figure the differences this way, but this is not as easy as it sounds. I was looking more for a short basic summary type list. So I am making one myself in my maple cheat sheet).

I am trying to switch to PDEtools:-Solve from solve, but I keep noticing strange differences. Here is an example

example A

restart;
ode:=(x+1)*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)^(1/2) = 0;
ic:=y(0) = 1;
sol:=dsolve([ode,ic],y(x));
check:=odetest(sol,ode);
PDEtools:-Solve(check=0,x) assuming x>-1,x<6

Error, (in assuming) when calling 'PDEtools:-Solve'. Received: 'not a system with respect to the unknowns {x}'

Compare to 

restart;
ode:=(x+1)*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)^(1/2) = 0;
ic:=y(0) = 1;
sol:=dsolve([ode,ic],y(x));
check:=odetest(sol,ode);
solve(check=0,x) assuming x>-1,x<6;

                               x

Now, back to first example above using Solve. I moved the assuming inside, and now the error went away

Example B

restart;
ode:=(x+1)*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)^(1/2) = 0;
ic:=y(0) = 1;
sol:=dsolve([ode,ic],y(x));
check:=odetest(sol,ode);
PDEtools:-Solve(check=0,x,assume=[x>-1,x<6]);

But I noticed I can not do the same with solve. i.e. move the assuming inside solve, it now gives an error

restart;
ode:=(x+1)*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)^(1/2) = 0;
ic:=y(0) = 1;
sol:=dsolve([ode,ic],y(x));
check:=odetest(sol,ode);
solve(check=0,x,assume=[x>-1,x<6]);

Error, invalid input: too many and/or wrong type of arguments passed to solve; first unused argument is assume = [-1 < x, x < 6]

So first difference is that one can use assume= inside Solve, but not inside solve. Which is fine.

But I still not sure why first example A above gives error with Solve but not with solve. Any idea why that is?  Notice that example A gives an error with Solve, only when adding x<6 to the assumption. So this works

restart;
ode:=(x+1)*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)^(1/2) = 0;
ic:=y(0) = 1;
sol:=dsolve([ode,ic],y(x));
check:=odetest(sol,ode);
PDEtools:-Solve(check=0,x) assuming x>-1

No error, and now it gives

But was trying to find why it failed when adding x<6
