2. Reload tags literally what it says. It re-reads the tags of the files and updates the database info.

Now let's go to the purpose of your question and let's explain a few things:

1. When VirtualDJ sees a new file (a file that doesn't exist in it's database) for the first time it will read it's tag and store the data of the tag in it's database. If the song has no tag data at all, then (and only then) it will try to parse the filename by it's own (without you telling it to do so) in order to fill the database.
2. From that point on VirtualDJ will NEVER-EVER again read the tags of the files automatically.
3. From that point on VirtualDJ ALWAYS relies to it's database for searching and displaying data.
4. VirtualDJ won't alter/change the songs tag data unless you explicitly tell it to do so. When you edit a song's data inside VirtualDJ (by using tag editor) you are editing/changing the database contents. Not the tag of the file itself. There's a button on Tag Editor "Write Tag" for that job. If you don't press that button VirtualDJ will save your modifications on it's database, but not on your file(s) tag!
There's one "exception": If in VirtualDJ settings you set the option 'setTagsAuto' to 'yes' then the "Write Tag" button disappears from tag editor and any change you make from there saves both on database and files tags.
5. The "key" to determine if a song is new or not (if it exists in database or not) is it's complete filename.
