Hi!

> I found these two commands.  They seem to do the same thing.  What is
> the difference?

This is an example illustrating the difference.

- Have point on the *table* of the following subtree.


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* foo

| foo | foo |
| foo | foo |

* bar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


- Use command `org-narrow-to-subtree'.  See the effect.
- Use command `widen' to get rid of the restriction.
- Make sure to have point on the table of the subtree again.
- Use command `org-narrow-to-element.  See the effect.
- Compare!


HTH,
