Enthalpy of combusion is energy change when reacting with oxygen. Enthalpy of formation is energy change when forming a compound. But some enthalpies can be equal.ex-Combusion of H2 and formation of H2O is equal

How bond formation and bond breaking related to enthalpy?

Enthalpy is the measurement of total energy change of a reaction. The energy of bond formation and bond breaking can be used to calculate the bond enthalpy of the reaction. Bond enthalpy is the enthalphy change when 1 mol of bond is broken. Therefore the general equation to calculate the enthalpy change is energy of bond broken subtract by energy of bond formation.
