They're very different.  target_session_attrs is only at time of connection, in which it will pick one server (from a list) with a particular set of attributes.  Once that connection is established, it doesn't change unless you close and reopen the connection.  Thus, if you open the connection asking for a server that can take writes, you get the master, and all queries sent down that connection go to the master.  There's no equivalent of pgpool2's per-query routing.
