Answer 1

1- What is the difference between MySQL database server and Phpmyadmin ?

mySQL is a database server. phpMyAdmin is a client tool to access a mySQL database, written in PHP and used in a browser.

2- can I make a connection from a java software to a phpmyadmin database using JDBC-driver ? and how ?

No, but you should be able to make a connection to a mySQL database. As to how... I don't know but I'm sure there is reference info for this.
