Your accessories pulley turns all your accessories. A/C, Powersteering, and alternator. The underdrive pulley, is a smaller, lighter accessories pulley so the engine has to work less hard to turn the pulley. Thus more power gets to your wheels.

To get it on, you need to jack up your car, and put it into gear. If you have an auto this is much more difficult Take off your front right tire and the splash guard, take off the bolt on your original acessories pulley using an impact wrench and some pb (do not even try it without these tools). Then take off your original pulley with a mallet or just your hands. Bolt on the new one and put on the belts at the same time. Torque that to some redicious torque found in the manual. To keep the pulley from turning when you are screwing it in if you have an auto, get one of those plumber rubber pipe holder things you see on TV. Just ask at your local hardware store for something like that. Have someone really strong hold it, while your torque. Then put everything back on.

The alternator and the powersteering also can adjust to make it easier to put the belts on. Do yourself a favor, get the exact right belts (NOT alternates that those crappy auto stores try to sell you), and you probably won't have to adjust your alternator and powersteering. That hard to do also.
