So I discovered that when you install Xampp you get mysql and phpmyadmin but if I download them individually what’s the difference?

The difference is that with xampp you can run apache, filezilla, tomcat and mercury, that are so helpful in some application
When you install xampp you get:
(X) -> Cross-Platform which means it works equally well on Linux, Mac and Windows.
(A) -> Apache
(M) -> MariaDB
(P) -> PHP
(P) -> Perl
and when you install only mySql you only get the ->(M) that is the open-source relational database management system.
Honestly depends on what you need, if you only need the database install Mysql but if you need to serve web pages, provides support for creating and manipulating databases, setup a local wordPress site… install Xampp
