I'm not exactly new to Windows XP, but what's the difference between Windows
XP and the Windows XP upgrade?

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.

The installed product is the same. The upgrade version requires priveiously
installed Windows programs, while the other requires no previous versions.

That depends. If the version to be upgraded is an OEM version that
only provides a "system recovery" CD or a separate "system recovery"
partition on the hard drive then it *must* be installed in order to be
upgraded.
