It's not bad. If you are really looking for resveratrol, I don't think there's enough in here to do very much. It's a 50% extract, so if you take a lot of it (like 5 caps or more) you may see the side effects typical of the 50% products, such as diarrhea. Green tea extract is great stuff, but 100mg is kind of a low dose. GSE is good stuff too. Nothing bad here, just kind of low dosages.

Is there a difference between Greet Tea Extract and EGCG?

EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is one of the components of green tea. The extract might have been standardized to a certain concentration of EGCG.
