Usually this is referring to water or a similar liquid. Bring to a boil basically means you heat it on the stove until it boils. You can tell that it's boiling once the water is bubbling. Once it is boiling you have "brought it to a boil"

Is there any difference between phrases bring to boil bring to a boil and bring to the boil?

Well, there is no difference in terms of the act of "boiling," but there is a grammatical difference. Saying "bring it to the boil" is unnecessary. There is no need for using the definite article "the" for "boil". Merely say or write "bring to boil" or "boil." These are good enough.
