Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) is an embedded search engine that can be used to search any set of one or more sites. No Google API key is required.

I think that explains well what the difference is. This module is not about Google Adsense.

So, Adsense provides both the ad and search functionality but Google CSE only does the search part.

That is correct.
I am not sure why a module for Google Adsense should provide also Google CSE, but that is what the other module does.

Confusingly, I believe that Google CSE module can also allow you to make money via AdSense, see http://www.google.com/coop/cse/ (although I've only used Google CSE module for a non-profit organization that didn't want ads so haven't tried this).
