is the difference between MD5 and MD5crypt the same as between Java and Javascript or are they actually related somehow?

MD5crypt is a password hashing algorithm that uses the MD5 digest hashing algorithm. MD5crypt basically calls MD5 a bunch of times in order to make it computationally expensive.
