Usually, although One COULD mean you wrote the letter to the newspaper, but i sent it off to someone else, and Two COULD mean that you wrote me a letter and I sent it to the newspaper.
To the newspaper goes with "wrote" in One and with "sent" in Two, but most likely the letter was both written and sent to the same place, so most likely the same meaning.

Usually, it does. Sent and sent off are usually the same thing.
