    What i need help with at this time is understanding the difference between shrink and resize

    None.
    The GUI calls DBCC ShrinkFile or DBCC ShrinkDatabase, depending whether you selected the option to shrink the file or the entire DB.

    Can't seem to find anything online

    Because resize isn't a thing.
