Answer

Don't be misled by the spelling. There are quite different words.

Both of your sentences make sense, but they have different meanings. It's unclear what you mean by "harder".

Answer

The words " tense" and " intense" have similar meanings. Tense can refer to a feeling state- " I am feeling tense": this means you are feeling tension, which could mean anything from feeling emotional pressure, to tension in your muscles. When something is " intense" that generally refers to a situation of great overwhelm.
