The Escape action allows you to choose "one creature, object, spell effect, hazard, or other impediment imposing" grabbed, immobilized, or restrained. If you succeed the escape check, you remove all three conditions imposed by your chosen target.
If a creature has you grabbed, immobilized, or restrained in several ways (multiple limbs, different abilities, etc), if you choose to escape from the creature, you escape from all of it if you succeed. If one of the ways you were grabbed, etc. was from that creature's spell, would you have to escape from that separately?
This came up in a recent game and we went with 'yes' since the escape description distinguishes between a creature and a spell effect as targets. Still, we aren't sure if it's how it should work.

You were correct; a creature acts as a different entity than its spell effects (at least after casting/determining spell choices). That's explicit in this case where they're separate entries on a list.
