Italian dressing is oil and vinegar with some garlic and herbs. French dressing is reddish and creamy from the addition of tomato or ketchup. It typically has a tangy onion flavor. It is also a sweet dressing with a good amount of sugar. I've used bottled Italian dressing as a marinade but it's easy enough to mix up an oil an vinegar marinade.
