Difference between Send Email action and Send Email Campaign Message save action - sitecore

Can someone outline the main difference or differences between using the Send Email Campaign Message save action and the Send Email action? Why can't I use the Send Email action in place of the Send Email Campaign Message save action? I hope someone can help!

The main difference is that the Send Email action only sends an e-mail without additional campaigns or analytics interaction. You don't have engagement plans or statistics for your sent e-mail. It's nothing more than sending an HTML-based e-mail to the recipient.

Send Email action is basically sending email with System.Net.Mail.
Send Email Campaign Message utilizes Sitecore Email Experience Manager's dispatch pipeline to send emails that can be tracked.

No, you can not capture use email reply directly with SNS, you can not publish to SNS from email, but one way to do that is to have email listening server, receive email and publish email back to SNS.

Email button to call Web Service

I am creating an email that is sent to customers from my website. This email is triggered when the customer clicks an "Ask for Price" button. The email is then sent to our sellers with the information about the customer and the product they are requesting.
On this email, we want to allow the seller the option to directly respond to the customer, but I would like to have this trigger a flag in my database to show that the seller replied to the customer.
There are a couple of ways you could approach this.
You could have them respond to the customer by clicking on a mailto link that fills in the to address and the bcc address that emails some key information picked up by a script on the server (e.g. customernumber_some_keys#yourscriptwatchedserver.com)
The email message going to the sellers could have a link to respond to the customer that goes to a landing page on your server with a form for their response, which in turn sends the message and adds information to the database
