Is there a catalog of every Williams train ever produced? Is there any functional differences between an Alco 17 and Alco 18?

For the catalogue have you tried Google?
Alco 17 and 18? I presume you mean the Canadian MLW RSD-17 of which only one was built and the MLW RS-18, the Canadian version of the American Alco RS-11?
Again, Google with both tell you and show you the differences.

Harvey,
This book might help:
The Story of Williams Electric Trains

IIRC from this book, or perhaps Classic Toy Train magazine articles, old catalogs were never archived.
"Getting out the next catalog" was the important thing to Mr. Williams.
I value the few I do have from the early to mid 2000's.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
