what is the meaning of and the difference between the

Correct. Many forcefields (e.g. opls) only use scaling factors, and
then the pairtypes section isn't necessary.
what is the meaning of 'ptype' and 'func' in the tables?
ptype is particle type, which makes it possible to separate nuclei
from bond polarization charges in polarizable force fields. In the
standard force fields we only use atoms.
The 'func' field is an integer to specify the type of interaction,
for instance if a bond is harmonic, cubic, or e.g. morse bond. It is
always used even when there is only a single type of interaction
(e.g. for position restraints), since we might add new interaction
forms in the future.
