My understanding is that senders and sensors can both be linked to the ECM or a guage, but senders are usually on / off, while a sensor will show you a range.
For instance, an oil pressure sensor can be used to measure current oil pressure and display it on a gauge, and an oil pressure sender can be used to tell an ECM to cut fuel and spark when it senses a certain (low) oil pressure condition to shut off the engine.
