There is little or no difference between these words, both meaning to be in a state of agitation. Seethe may suggest being in a state of inward agitation. Boil may be more of a external visual state of agitation. The word 'seethe' is more of an archaic word derived from the Old English 'seopan' meaning 'to boil'.
