They are command line tools that allows the user to run XSLT processors from a console: msxsl.exe wraps the MSXML engine, nxslt.exe wraps the .NET engine, StylusXSLT.exe wraps the Stylus built-in engine.
I am not quite sure what you umean by "Wraps" When I am in the StylusStudio mapper and click on the "Preview scenario", this basically runs the translation yes?
Does StylusXSLT.exe do the same thing?
If not, what application is submitted when I click on that button?

StylusXSLT.exe runs an XSLT transformation using the Stylus "native" XSLT processor, the one called "built-in" in the Scenario properties.
When you execute a transformation from inside Stylus Studio, Stylus will use the processor set in the Scenario properties, which is not necessarily the built-in one.
Stylus Studio doesn't provide executables for running the transformation from the command line using a generic XSLT processor; of the executables you have mentioned, the only one which is supported and documented is StylusXSLT.exe (which, as I said, runs XSLT using the Stylus built-in processor); the others are only for internal purposes, and are not supported and not documented.
