1) They are both apologies for eating plums that were supposed to be used soon for something other than being eaten. There is a feeling of guilt and a felling of surrender as well, to the delicious flavour of the plums.
2) While one says that their was nothing else to eat except for the plums, the other states that they were too good and very tempting. Also, one is much more formally written, probably because it dates back to much longer. One describes the plums, while the other doesn't tend to really mind their flavour and is just happy about the fact that they're full.
3) Yes, the differences are related to intention. Although both aim to apologise for eating the plums, one is just an apology, while the other is more of an apology that would come with expecting a reproachful reaction to eating the plums. This is because it justifies the stance of the speaker in a detailed manner, asking for the person being apologies to to forgive them for eating the plums.
4) Pragmatic intention is related to the social historical context, which is important in both of the texts and is one of the main differences between them.
5) The language used is completely different, one is much more formal than the other. The poem has a much more tranquil atmosphere, due to its nature while the note has a causual atmosphere, especially with the bit about the facewash, since it diverts the attention of the readers away from the plums.
