Is the blocks and chainstate folder store the same blocks data ?
How can we read those data using code and display that on the web frontend like the blockchain explorer websites

No, the blocks directory contains the actual blocks. The chainstate directory contains the state as of the latest block (in simplified terms, it stores every spendable coin, who owns it, and how much it's worth).

No, you need transaction and address indexes for that. Bitcoin Core is not designed to provide those.

2By "how much it's worth" I of course meant the amount expressed in BTC (or really satoshi's), not what that value in any local fiat currency corresponds to. Sep 21, 2020 at 16:50

I am searching for any other library in python that allow the same functionality
See if the STATUS, mentioned in the Analysis of the Bitcoin UTXO set 2018, would help?
"We have created STATUS (STatistical Analysis Tool for Utxo Set), an open source code tool that provides an easy way to access, decode, and analyze data from the Bitcoin’s UTXO set. STATUS is coded in Python 2"
