“ramble on” means to talk (or write) at length in a disorganised or confused way.

“wander off” can mean to drift away from the point of what one is saying, so #2 could potentially have a similar meaning to #1, though to me it does not seem such a likely thing to say, and “inane” also seems a better fit with “ramble on” than with “wander off”.
