What is the difference between them ? are these commands really required to install intel drivers ?

As a general comment, it is advised to stay away from installing drivers unless there is a problem with the default configuration.

xserver-xorg-video-intel is a set of older drivers for Intel. For newer hardware, chances are good that you can uninstall that package. Then, the kernel build-in modesetting drivers are used instead.

mesa-utils is just a set of GL utilities, i.e., to display information or test hardware acceleration.
