1. OFF

Are these the same thing? If not which should I use and what is the
difference between them?


Off might not send a tag to the printer, so it would not know how to manage the color if you chose to do so later, at the driver step. Let Printer/Driver manage color should include the current color profile tag, so that its possible to convert from it to whatever output profile is desired at the Printer/Driver level. So both should be fine if you are't doing a driver level conversion, but both won't necessarily be fine (or the same) if you DO decide to do a conversion at the driver level.
