I have seen in oracle website there are two types jre download.
What are the differences of running my application in server JRE vs JRE and are there any limitations imposed upon the application of choosing one runtime environment over another?

The Server JRE includes tools for JVM monitoring and tools commonly required for server applications, but does not include browser integration (the Java plug-in). So the difference is incredibly small.
You need a JRE but not the JDK. The JRE is the java runtime environment and java code cannot be executed without it. The . jar is a compiled java file can and this needs the java runtime environment to be run.
The JRE is the underlying technology that communicates between the Java program and the operating system. It acts as a translator and facilitator, providing all the resources so that once you write Java software, it runs on any operating system without further modifications.
Java SDK is a set of programming tools for developing Java applications. JRE provides the minimum requirements for executing a Java application.
Read the documentation:
The Server JRE is a runtime environment specifically targeted for deploying Java in server environments and it is available for 64-bit Linux, Solaris and Windows platforms.
The Server JRE includes tools for JVM monitoring and tools commonly required for server applications, but does not include browser integration (the Java plug-in).
