Vim just uses an external diff command, and vim on windows installs
one in the same directory as gvim.exe, which is just Gnu diff. Mine
says to diff --version
diff - GNU diffutils version 2.7
You can tell vim which diff to use with the 'diffexpr' option, and
adjust settings with 'diffopt'. I imagine that you're using
different options when you "run GNU diff" to get different results.
See :h 'diffopt'

Yes, Vim requires an ed-style diff, while nowadays most people prefer
either "context" or "unified" diffs, which are more human-readable and
also provide more security against applying a patch in the wrong place.
