What is the difference? What determines which one to use?

The child links of pages listed in Page File are not crawled. The URLs listed in the file are crawled, and then nothing more (baring other BaseURLs & such).

Url File acts essentially as an external list of BaseURLs.

Any way to have just the links in page file crawled and nothing else??

That's what page file does. I was saying that if you specify a Base URL _in addition_ to a page file then the base url will be crawled normally. But if you only specify a page file, then only the links listed in the page file will be crawled.
