We learn a little more here.
"Agreement" is the general umbrella that the rest fall under.
A treaty is a particular type of agreement.
Treaties are dealt with by the President and the Senate. House has no say.

USMCA is not just an agreement, it's a trade agreement.
The House does have a say in trade agreements as the Constitution grants Congress the power “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.

decent explanation here:

feds law here - Handbook on Treaties - gotta search for the differences but pretty well defined\explained - hopefully before your head explodes.
