Whats the difference? There is no way to choose in the menu yet there are two different types in the stats. Which is which?

Bullet is any time control faster than and including 2+1. 

Blitz is any time control slower than rapid, but slower than and including 3+1.

The ordering is based on (I believe, not totally sure) 1 second increment being equal to 40 seconds of starting time, since the average game lasts around 40 moves. So 2+2 is blitz, etc.

What does 2+1 and 3+1 mean? Like the 3I1 category?

The first time is the time you get at the start, in minutes generally. The second time is the number of seconds you increase your time by after you  make one move.
