What is the difference between an intentional and flagrant foul? How are they each handled?

As a general statement, the difference is the degree of contact (or the intended degree of contact). They are handled the same way, except that the fouler is ejected for a flagrant foul.

I don't know why, but I always thought a flagrant was a technical, and all techicals go to the division line for a spot throw in. With a flagrant, you don't need 2 technicals to get ejected. Thanks for the help!

Most flagrant fouls happen to be technicals -- that is, they are contact fouls during a dead ball period, or non-contact behavior. (Depending on how you read the rule book, fighting during a live ball might also be a technical foul.)

Fouls are either personal or technical. Within those categories, they can be common, intentional, flagrant, player control, double, ..... (and not every descriptor applies to both categories).
