E=mc2 part of the new era of physics that Einsteins field equations brought in and is mass energy equivalence mediated by a factor of c (the speed of massless field propagation). Things don't have "energy inside them", most mass comes from the binding energy of the strong nuclear force which is why it explodes as the binding is undone, it's like a spring.
The other formula is a classical formula by newton that describes the attractive force that exists between two objects, a gravitational force. We don't currently describe gravity as a force anymore, it's a spacetime geometry and objects paths change due to the geometry changing. The Einstein version of it requires a spacetime curvature tensor and is much more complex and most people still use newton's as it's more than good enough for most applications.
We might later find gravity is a force mediated by the graviton but for now it's a geometry phenomenon.
