I am getting the same output when testing both of those tags. Are they supposed to be different?

Pretty much the same. From nph-build.cgi:

$category_name = $cat;
$category_name_escaped = &urlencode ($cat);

Urlencode basically looks for spaces (or anything not a-zA-Z0-9_-.), and makes it a %20. Only used for URLs.
