>(the <form> is inside the <table> tag). Why is it different?

Look at the HTML specification. The only elements that can be direct
children of table are caption, tr, tbody, thead and tfoot.

The form must either surround the whole table, or be contained within
a single table cell.

By default form elements have a margin. Set this margin to zero in
your CSS and the extra space will porobably vanish (but we can't be
sure because you didn't supply a URL).
