Noob question: When looking at the Seeds and Peers columns of qBittorrent, there are two numbers: one of which is outside the parenthesis and one is inside the parenthesis. Ex 0 (5).

What is the difference between the two numbers in each column?

It's the other way around; you connect to seeders.

In the example of 2 (3), there are 3 total seeders and you're connected to 2 of them.

Although in your screenshot, you're at 100%, so you're not connected to any seeders at the moment and are, yourself, a seeder. You have peers (leechers) connecting to you. Same principle applies; in an example of 2 (7), there are 7 peers in total, and 2 of them are actively leeching off you.

What about the many that say something like 7(0). Maybe it is connected peers (non connected peers)?

Good question. I assume it's DHT delivering peers that aren't in the tracker(s), or maybe a problem with the tracker(s).

The format's "# connected (# total)" in every client I've seen.
