what is the Difference between Router QoS and Switch QoS?

That depends on the devices being compared.  Generally, router QoS offers many more QoS configuration options.

when we need Router QoS and when we need Switch QoS?

One doesn't depend on the other.  Both depend on whether there's congestion that's adverse to the service needs of the traffic (and whether QoS can meet those needs).

Ditto to prior question and answer.

" That depends on the devices being compared.  Generally, router QoS offers many more QoS configuration options. "

Does Router QoS for incoming and outgoing Internet RTP traffic and Switch QoS for LAN RTP traffic?

If there is not congestion  on Internet and LAN then Router and Switch will not prioritize RTP taffic?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking.

If there is not congestion  on Internet and LAN then Router and Switch will not prioritize RTP taffic? 

Correct.  If there's no congestion there's nothing to prioritize.

Don't confuse actual prioritization with tagging packets that should be prioritized.  They often go together, but they don't have to.

QoS on Router for Internet incoming/ougoing traffic only?

QoS on Switch for LAN incoming/ougoing traffic?

QoS features vary between platforms, especially between routers and switches, and vary between ingress and egress interfaces, but device doesn't know or care what the port is connected to.
