Sliding means I got the terminal always in background and I can call it with a shortcut, and it will slide down from the top of the screen like in Quake (which why the most known terminal implementing it is called guake).

Splitting terminal means I can seen in one terminal tab several shells, like with screen or tmux. But I can also take the focus on each part of the terminal by clicking on it, not just with a 4 keys keyboard shortcut. Which terminator let me do.

Is there a terminal that features both on Linux ? Even something I can pay for.

Yakuake, although it's KDE-based.

Now Terminator itself natively supports Guake like functionality.

Refer to the following article.

http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/install-terminator-with-built-in-quake.html

The article is quite old, and claims that the Guake like functionality is not there in the release candidate. But, the feature has now been included. All the other info relating to setting up the feature in Terminator are still relevant.
