Can someone tell me what are the main features of these two languages?
The difference(s) between Old Dutch and Old Frankish
Old Dutch didn't exist. It is artificial definition."Dutch" is result of standardization of Low Franconian dialects of Middle Low German ,mixed with Low Saxon dialects of Middle Low German and Old Frisian. It appeared in XVI age.
Old Frankish is ancestor of Low Franconian (Dutch language, Low Rhine,Limburgish and Ripuarian dialects.

Dutch, Angles, Saxon Jutes, Frisian and etc., were branches belong to ancient Gar-Dena tribe. The language of Frankish tribe was just a sister language with Gar-Dena's before 3000 years ago.

There was group of Frankish tribes,not one tribe:
"Modern scholars of the Migration Period are in agreement that the Frankish identity emerged at the first half of the 3rd century out of various earlier, smaller Germanic groups, including the Salii, Sicambri, Chamavi, Bructeri, Chatti, Chattuarii, Ampsivarii, Tencteri, Ubii and Batavi"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franks
Old Saxon and Old Frankish dialects heavily influenced each other (sometimes linguists can't separate them(http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oudsaksische_doopgelofte)) and both groups of dialects evolved to Low Saxon and Low Franconian dialectal groups of Middle Low German.

Perhaps term " Old Low German" is politically incorrect to describe ancestor of Dutch language?

The Dutch branch is older than Angles, Saxon Jutes and Frisian. The Saxon, Jutes, Frisian, Vandel, Norse, Varangian (Dane), Rus, Lombardos, Goth etc., all are the personal names of prince of ancient Gar-Dena tribe.

What the fuck was the Gar-Dena tribe?
What do you actually mean with the Dutch branch? Celts used to live in what is now the Netherlands.

"Dutch" is Middle English term for Middle Low German (including Low Saxon and Low Franconian dialects).

Celts used to live in what is now the Netherlands.
Celts is not the Indigenous of now the Netherlands. The Celts's homeland in what is now the Central Asia and invaded into Europe before Germanic tribes.

Gar-Dena means Spear-Danes in poem of "Beowulf".
There describes in Beowulf parts about the ancient tales (before 4500 - 2500 years ago) and parts about the legends after Migration Period. Because the chieves of Varangians were the hereditary consul (prime minister) of Gar-Dena tribe in ancient period. Therefore the Spear-Danes can mean the Varangian branch in sometimes. In this old epic, the minstrels praised Beowulf and the chief (a descendant of Gar-Dena's consul) of Varangians. Beowulf is not belong to Gar-Dena tribe.

What is "Dutch branch" ?
When the Gar-Dena tribe increased many new members in ancient time. Some princes (whom are belong to different generations) and new menbers move to the new places and builded the new branches. The Saxon, Jutes, Frisian, Goth, Varangian, Norse, Vandal, Lombardy, Rus, etc., were divided from the Dutch and the old menbers were still living in the Dutch branch.
e.g. the English people move to new places of Canada, America, New Zealand and Australia, whom build the new branches of Canadian, American, New Zealander and Australian. The old menbers of English people still live in Britain.
