They mean close to the same thing, but "funran" is a little more like "state of confusion" or "misleading." (from the adjective "magirawashii")

"Konran" is a little like "all mixed up," but a lot stronger than that.

The second one's hard; I don't know. Maybe something like this?

迷い込み (mayoikomi; going astray, losing your way).
or
気が散る (ki ga chiru; losing enthusiasm or attention for something)

Hope this helps,
