Does GAP broadcaster differ with the BLE device which advertise packets with non-connectable option?

Is The device which operates as BLE GAP broadcaster in connection mode ??

Hi,

Broadcasting and advertising is essentially the same thing. The Bluetooth specification use different terms for different layers, but it does not have any practical consequence. Sometimes you will se broadcaster used to indicate non-connectable advertiser, but that does not really meet with the specification.  It is best to just think of them as synonyms. The correct name for the GAP role is broadcaster, but this is usually called advertiser elsewhere. 

Is The device which operates as BLE GAP broadcaster in connection mode ??

Do you mean weather it is connectable? If so, it depends on the meaning of the person who wrote/said it. Essentially you should just ask/check/read if it is connectable or not if that is what you want to know.
