There is no real mystery about the two folders. Your first screenshot are the
scripts that come with a Gimp installation and the second is your Gimp profile
scripts folder. The Gimp profile is the place to add any scripts that are for
your use. Not added any? Then it is empty.  If you look in Edit -> Preferences
-> Folders -> Scripts you will see those two paths. The same applies to the
other resources, for example  brushes  go in
C:\Users\Krystal\Appdata\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\brushes

....but I can't figure out how to easily switch colors...

A better question might be why do you have difficulty switching colours. If you
have white as the BG colour and you want it as FG for painting then the 'X' key
swaps FG/BG.
