Still confused. What’s the difference between this and the typical NDA that a sexual harassee signs?

  There's no conceptual difference. The only consequences difference is the fear being espoused on here that Walmart or similar could frequently abuse it as an extortion point (and that given their scale, it could become a terrifying beast of a problem; such that even if Walmart weren't directly doing the extorting - which they're unlikely to do - others in the system would). For example, you get a person in the Walmart system, a guard or whatever, that has records on people that have commited crimes in Walmart. Joe Consumer gets caught shoplifting and pays a fee for it to go away, and doesn't get turned in to the police. Now, the security guard with the profiles starts going outside the framework and begins blackmailing people like Joe. These will mostly be poorer people and are very easy to prey upon in such a scenario.
