Does Sourcetree offer a way to visualize differences between git branches?
I'm looking for:

To see the changes between two commits, you can use git diff ID1.. ID2 , where ID1 and ID2 identify the two commits you're interested in, and the connector .. is a pair of dots. For example, git diff abc123.. def456 shows the differences between the commits abc123 and def456 , while git diff HEAD~1..
Another way to do this is to right-click on a branch and select the "Diff against current" context menu command (current refers to the branch you are currently working on). This will give you the diff between the head commits of the two branches.

Screenshot (based on Sourcetree v1.9.5):
After choosing "Diff against Current" from the context menu, you should see a message to the effect of:
Displaying all changes between {commit_hash} and working copy
231
Use ⌘ (OSX) or CTRL (Windows and Linux) and choose any two commits you like in log view. It does not matter what branch the commits belong to.
As a result you will see something like...
Displaying all changes between f03a18bf0370c62bb5fb5c6350589ad8def13aea and 4a4b176b852e7c8e83fffe94ea263042c59f0548
