Kit,

FE treats the unobserved time invariant component as random and, therefor, requires strict exogeneity, which means that the lagged dependent variable is ruled out as a regressor. 
OLS with dummies (constants) only requires contemporaneous exogeneity and can include the lagged dependent variable as a regressor.

They surely do not, because the FE estimator is conceptually just OLS with dummy variables for each unit in the panel.
However the meaning of 'robust' VCE changes, in that it should now be cluster-robust by panel unit, rather than standard White/sandwich estimator, as [xt] xtreg describes.
