Who are building these and how do you use them effectively?

Maybe I'm paranoid but feels like infantry gun always gets more kills than pack howizer. Better to just get m8 motor carriage or priest.

Infantry gun is pretty neat. Especially on camping maps.

Make sure it has clear line of sight or it won't fire. Don't forget the infantry support gun directly fires at vehicles around it like an AT gun—account for this in your positioning of it.

I get the infantry gun on building heavy maps because with lack of flame throwers or mortars, clearing buildings as OKW is slightly more difficult than other factions, especially when you go double or triple assault pios whom have no grenades. In the later stages of the game, keep it right near your forward medic truck or forward flack truck to keep it covered without having to baby sit it much with infantry.

As for the mini howitzer, I have only gotten it when ahead and against Soviets because they tend to have T2 at some point in a 1v1 and that is much easier to land kills than vs American rifle men armies.

How good are the two against vehicles?

Infantry Support Gun is actually shockingly good against vehicles when it hits. The indirect fire will very rarely hit vehicles so like it says you might get a shot with direct fire.
