what do these parameters indicate here like "bash", "-c" ?

bash is a shell and -c is a option to bash to run commands inside the bash
shell.
I recommend reading "man bash" and check out the option "-c" if you want to know
more.
and how the above function call is different from the this one:
Key([], "XF86AudioMute", lazy.spawn("pactl set-sink-mute 0 toggle &&
/home/Odd/.config/qtile/dunst_volume_monitor.sh", shell=True)),
When you use shell=True Qtile add the "bash -c" for you.
(to be technically correct "shell=True" uses "sh -c" and not "bash -c", but
for you in this case the result is the same)
is the spawn function overloaded.
I wouldn't say that, but Linux have many ways to do the same thing.
So which of them you use is up to you, both work and in the end they do the
same thing.
