They do different things:

;; `resolve-interface' takes two keyword arguments:
;;
;;   #:select SELECTION
;;
;; SELECTION is a list of binding-specs to be imported; A binding-spec
;; is either a symbol or a pair of symbols (ORIG . SEEN), where ORIG
;; is the name in the used module and SEEN is the name in the using
;; module.  Note that SEEN is also passed through RENAMER, below.  The
;; default is to select all bindings.  If you specify no selection but
;; a renamer, only the bindings that already exist in the used module
;; are made available in the interface.  Bindings that are added later
;; are not picked up.
;;
;;   #:renamer RENAMER
;;
;; RENAMER is a procedure that takes a symbol and returns its new
;; name.  The default is to not perform any renaming.
;;
;; Signal "no code for module" error if module name is not resolvable
;; or its public interface is not available.  Signal "no binding"
;; error if selected binding does not exist in the used module.

resolve-module is used by resolve-interface to find the module and then load 
it.
