 * "Could someone clarify the difference between the two?"

Adminmentor is used only by the Admin Mentor Program, a small volunteer program that aims to teach admins about things like coding, templates, organizing policies and procedures, etc. The goal of AMP is primarily to help admins (and, by extension, this helps the wiki those admins work with). Adminmentors only work on a very small number of wikis, specifically the ones which are accepted through the application process.

It sounds to me like the aim of Stars is to highlight the great work some users have done, and provide them further exposure in the global Wikia community. These are two separate programs with different goals in mind.
