The first page under the Tools button is Tools. This provides links to two browser applications (Turbo & Press This). They do not have any affect on your website directly and therefore your users will not be affected by them.
Note: I’ve never used either program so I really don’t know how good they are.

Import
If you’re re-installing your WordPress website from a WordPress backup file or moving your website from another blog-type web platform, you will be able to import your exported file here.

Export
This is where you would perform one part of a WordPress backup. This export function will only backup your posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags. It will NOT backup media files or the core WordPress files or theme files. For this, you will need to use an FTP program to download all of those files.

Upgrade
This is where you can perform an upgrade to the latest version of WordPress when WordPress has an upgrade available. You may also re-install WordPress over itself if you have any corrupt files.
If you see any additional links under the Tools section, they may be for configuring or using certain plug-ins that have been installed on your website. Go to the corresponding plug-ins page for details concerning that particular plug-in/tool.
