Why do people use “peoples” and “persons” in some sentences? When is it right to use them in context?

No. Although both people and peoples are grammatically correct, they cannot be used interchangeably because they have different meanings.

Case 1: When you use it in the sense of one people, many peoples:
Here, people (singular) means a group of human beings belonging to a particular race/ethnicity. The plural of such groups is called peoples.
E.g. 
The different peoples of the world have very diverse traditions.The Ukrainians are a nice people.
Case 2: When you use it in the sense of one person, many people:
Here, people means a group of persons. This is the regular and most common usage of the word people.
E.g. 
There are more than a billion people in India

Hello. You did not ask the question to which this text refers, which makes it impossible for you to receive an answer. However, I will try to help you by explaining what this text is talking about and I hope this is useful for you to answer your question.

This text is an excerpt from "All Quiet on the Western Front" written by Erich Maria Remarque. In this story we are introduced to Paul Baumer, a German soldier in the first world war. The book presents all the terrors and destruction that a war is capable of causing and in the excerpt presented in the question above, we can see Paul showing the conditions of the wounded and dead soldiers in the war hospital, a scene that impacts him a lot and makes him very thoughtful about what the war is causing and what will be the future of all who are there. That's because he entered the army with a very patriotic thought, but he realized that war has nothing to do with patriotism, but with death, pain and suffering.
