I really don't see what the diff button on Monticello is for. It pops up another window just like the one it just came from, and pressing browse on that window shows the whole snapshot. Isn't there a way to see changes between snapshots of one package other than by sorting changes manually using the change sorter?

Did you ever notice the balloon help on the button? ;)
It produces an .mcd version, a "differential" MC file that you can use just like an .mcz but which is usually much smaller. It only stores the difference to a "base snapshot". For loading the mcd, the base version must be available, too.

That's the "changes" button which shows the difference between your working copy and the selected version. There is no UI for comparing arbitrary versions AFAIK.

History does that.
