Way too little band width for explanations here. Google each technique, brew some coffee or mix a drink or two, and take it all in..... ;)

My info is way out of date, but in the early days "sharpen" and "sharpen more" were said to only be there for people who didn't want to bother learning Photoshop. They were notorious for being crude and creating artifacts. Most photographers were using unsharp masking or high pass. Eventually Adobe took the commonly used methods for unsharpmasking and made the Smart Sharpen tool. I'm on CS6 now, and I haven't looked into "sharpen" and "sharpen more" since PS6. It could be completely different now.
