The bracket is when a defender plays underneath the receiver while a safety sits above him, "bracketing" him between the two. It's usually a zone look. Double is when you play man with one guy and have a safety roll towards the receiver so that there's a second guy covering him after around 10 yards. Both looks are designed to help the CB and neutralize that 1 player.

Not much difference, bracketing is mainly just another name for doubling somebody. The scheme typically determines the little difference. You'll see a lot more bracket coverage from teams that run a Cover 2 that drops 2 Safeties and plays mostly Zone, like flsprtsgod said above. Vs say a Cover 1/3 Defense which use a single high Safety. Although Cover 1 is more Man based and Cover 3 is more Zone based.

Gus Bradley runs the classic Cover 3 Defense.

Lovie Smith ran the classic Cover 2 Defense this season with the Texans.
