1) The boards for these two games are completely different. Nine Men's Morris uses a set of 3 concentric squares with 24 playing spots, such as seen
here. Młynek uses a 3 x 3 array of 9 playing spots, such as shown
here. Furthermore, in Nine Men's Morris, each player begins with 9 pieces, while in Młynek each person begins with 3 pieces. The confusion, and mis-translations, between these two games may come from the fact that the Młynek board has 9 playing spots, so someone, somewhere, told Google translate that Młynek meant "Nine Men's Morris".
2) Although in both games you move pieces along the edges shown on the game board, the rules are dramatically different. In Młynek, you move pieces trying to trap your opponent so that they have no legal move to make. In Nine Men's Morris, you move pieces trying to get a three-in-a-row configuration, in which case you remove a piece of the opponent's. (In Młynek, once a piece is placed, it is never removed.)

In ictu oculi: I did essentially a complete re-write, to try to clarify the game. If you have the chance to review it for clarity, please do.
