'tor' gives you the binary only. (the code your machine runs)
'tor from source' gives your the source code us humans read. this allows you to inspect it, [potentially change] then compile it yourself to get the binary that way. 'from source' is an option you only see with open source software.

Tor from source : you download the source code build the app and install it
Tor : you download the builded app and install it -> The most easy
