How does Darth Vader breathe in his helmet?

Well, that actually applies to medical knowledge as well. Vader's suit is like a "portable life support system." A ventilator is part of life support and it is a facemask that applies oxygen to someone who cannot breathe physically or is breathing insufficiently. When anyone is on the ventilator, their breathing can be heard through the machine and it gives off a mechanical breathing sound. So that's why we can hear Vader's breathing as mechanical.

What is the difference between a breathing machine and life support?

A breathing machine, often referred to as a ventilator, specifically assists or takes over the breathing process for patients who cannot breathe adequately on their own. Life support, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of medical interventions designed to sustain essential bodily functions, which may include ventilators, but also involves other systems like cardiac support, dialysis, or nutritional support. Essentially, all breathing machines can be considered a form of life support, but not all life support involves breathing machines.
