How different is The Ruin of Arnor
from Moria and Angmar
Mostly the same, except that Moria & Angmar obviously includes more Evil units (Moria).

are they interchangeable? I have owned the game for some time though I have never played. I am interested in building an Angmar army.
The rules for models mostly havn't changed I think, no changes to profiles and points. But some units were removed from the Angmar "list" in M&A. Wild Wargs were removed (now found in the Moria list), and Warg Riders were added.
What the Ruin of Arnor had that M&A does not have, are the narrative historical scenarios which form a mini-campaign of sorts.
I'd recommend getting both if you can. Whilst you need M&A for the most current and up to date rules (Warbands), it lacks the fluff, narrative scenarios and overall charm of RoA. M&A may seem a little bland in comparison.

Several years ago WD had an article detailing Angmar, it included
"men of Carn Dum" . I did not notice them in The Ruin of Arnor.
Are they still included as options to take?
No. That was a White Dwarf only unit, and not an official expansion to the game equivalent to a sourcebook - you could only use them with your opponents' consent.
A good stand in would be the armoured Dunlending Warriors from the Isengard list, converted and painted to suit an Angmar theme.
