i'll take a stab:
Pantone Coated is one ink. One solid color. Think of it as a can of purple paint.
Pantone Process is getting as close as possible to that solid Pantone color by mixing cyan, magenta, yellow and black to make it.
Pantone to Process is what happens to solid colors when they are converted to CMYK. Some colors convert well when made out of CMYK. Others do not. In particular, oranges tend to make for bad conversions from pantone to process.
Of course, I could be wrong on some of this.
