Using i3 for sending commands to current i3 instance works. I found that i3-msg can also be used.
For e.g. while in an xterm window the following two commands do the same thing:
$ i3 border none
$ i3-msg border none
I would like to know if there is a difference between the two approaches.
It's effectively the same. As you will see when using i3 border none the output includes Additional arguments passed. Sending them as a command to i3, which is exactly the same i3-msg does. i3-msg was the original client that came with i3 (and still is), the main binary was later switched to also send commands
