I'm looking to get some hands-on experience with Azure.

Can someone tell me the limitations of running CF2018 in Azure App Service vs VM? Such as, if certain CFADMIN features will not be available.

It works. No loss of admin features, in my experience. What were you thinking might be?

Running ColdFusion in Azure Web Service and the site is up and running, but getting "Unable to retrieve collections from the Search Services with CFADMIN. Ensure that you have installed ColdFusion Search Service and it is running." error message with ColdFusion Collections.

Initial thought is that there are some limitations running it as PAAS or missing add-ons.

The search service isn't part of the CF WAR, so it won't work this way. But it's pretty easy to deploy a standalone Solr environment into Tomcat similarly to how you installed CF:
