The difference is in the scope of the command. Think of it this way:
WaitExten gives the user more time to enter digits before the dialplan moves on to the next instruction in the dial plan. Timeout is the max number of seconds to wait at any point in the current context before deciding the user either got confused, doesn't know what their doing, or fell asleep. Clear as mud?
