I've noticed some non stick fry pans say not to use them
in the oven, and I'm not talking about the plastic or wood
handle ones either but all metal. But you can buy non stick
cheap baking pans at Wal-Mart. What is the deal here?
Also some stainless pans are rated at oven safe to 350
degrees? What do they melt or something?

Probably not, but I bet they warp.

Different coatings.

Depends on coating. Also above 350, many pans warp.

Non-stick baking tray are made with a different manufacturing
process than non-stick pots and pans. Put a non-stick baking tray
next to a non-stick pan and you will see the difference.
