Can someone please explain the difference between the two?

What is the effect on these for braidouts/twistouts?

To me, not much of a difference.

However, when you say "individuals" most will think of braids with the ends loose (in the fashion associated with human hair micros).

When you say "box braids" folks will think of the braids that are done with kanekalon and finished ends via burning or what not.

Some refer to small braids as individuals and larger braids as box braids. One can see how it could lead to confusion...
