  1. I would say the reason to use a terminal file manager is because you can do everything that a GUI file manager can do, but you can use more keyboard shortcuts which is something a terminal user tends to like to do more. Along with the fact that you don't need to type a full file name out so you can very accurately select and delete/rename/move a file whereas from the terminal proper you'd have to either type it out fully or tab complete through potentially dozens of similarly named files. Now, from my shell I've got readline setup so I can hit tab, complete to the first match, then shift+tab to go back to the common root, type a few more characters then tab for more, wash, rinse, repeat as needed, but in some directories, usually things downloaded from others, it can be annoying. Especially if we're dealing with varying cases of file names.

  2.  @Henry-sv3wv  Some can, but you might not consider such a terminal to be a terminal at that point.
