For example, some sites tell me to use mrt add accounts-ui (using Meteorite, right?) and others say meteor add accounts-ui.
From what I understand, Meteorite is just a version control / package manager. Is this correct? What is the difference between the two commands above?

Think of them as “space rocks." When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it's called a meteorite.
A meteor is the light streak made by a meteoroid as it streaks through the atmosphere, also called a shooting star. A meteorite refers to a meteoroid after it impacts the Earth's surface.
Update
Meteor 0.9 release rendered Meteorite and the mrt command obsolete. All new projects should use meteor add only.
Original answer
meteor add works only for packages issues officially by the Meteor team (here's the list). mrt add is a wrapper that works also for all community packages available from atmosphere.

They are the same now https://github.com/oortcloud/meteorite/
"NOTE: As of Meteor 0.9.0, Meteorite is no longer required! You can now install Atmosphere packages directly via the meteor tool."
