"sure" is an adjective, someone can be sure (I am sure, he is sure, we are sure)... "for sure" is used for situations, i.e. "it will happen for sure", "things will turn out right for sure", "he is coming for sure" (here you can also say "he is surely coming")... if used with adjectives, the adverb "surely" is used, i.e. "he is surely afraid" etc. ... If you mean "sure" / "for sure" as an answer in everyday conversation, then they are both used in the same way (it is quite informal).
