According to the documentation, I have never understood the difference between the two. To deploy a web app, do I only need to install one of them? Another question is why I installed "MATLAB Web App Server (R2020a new toolbox)" but the documentation of this toolbox is not shown in the help documentation?

You will need to purchase the new toolbox.
If I understood correctly the bundled web app server with compiler is only for testing your web apps in a development environment. The warning from matlab states :
The development version of MATLAB® Web App Server™ must be installed in a trusted
intranet environment on dedicated hardware. The only purpose of the physical or
virtual machine where the server is installed must be to host web apps
that connect to the server. The server must never be exposed to the open Internet.
For more information, see MATLAB Web App Server Security.

The verison included in MATLAB Compiler can be used for development and deployment in production but if you are looking for capabiliies such as authentication and making web apps accessible to users beyond 32 then you will need a license of MATLAB Web App Server. I hope this helps. Feel free to get in touch if you have more questions.

Ahmad,
If you have MATLAB Compiler license, the development verison of MATLAB Web App Server is included. You can install and use it. https://www.mathworks.com/help/compiler/webapps/install-matlab-web-app-server.html
If you are looking for the product version and for commercial use, please fill up this short form https://www.mathworks.com/company/aboutus/contact_us/req_quote.html and one of our account managers can provide you the quote and access.
If you are part of an academic institution, please check with your school IT administrator who manages MathWorks product license, you may have an existing Web App Server license.
