In the same vein

In[3]:=
({list1[[#1,1]], list1[[#1,2]] - list2[[#1,2]]} & ) /@
Range[Length[list1]]
Out[3]=
{{1, 0}, {2, -2}, {3, -6}}

In[4]:=
Transpose[{list1[[All,1]], list1[[All,2]] - list2[[All,2]]}]
Out[4]=
{{1, 0}, {2, -2}, {3, -6}}

In[19]:=
({#1, (Plus[#1 - #2] & ) @@ {list1[[#1,2]], list2[[#1,2]]}} & ) /@
Range[Length[list1]]
Out[19]=
{{1, 0}, {2, -2}, {3, -6}}
