Wireless is just the more 'general' term. Bluetooth refers to a specific type of wireless technology. Marketing-wise though, wireless is PROBABLY (but not necessarily) referring to infra-red technology.
The BIG difference between the 2 is line-of sight. Bluetooth is supposed to be more tolerant of its location relative to the receiver whereas IR can be finnicky on where you use your mouse. Bluetooth uses a radio frequency and as such can be used even if it can't 'see' where the receiver is. IR, on the other hand, uses a light band and as such, the device has to be able to 'see' where the receiver is.

Difference is in wireless technology. Simple wireless mice use infrared connection. It is slower than Bluetooth technology, so Bluetooth mouse is more sensitive than IR.
