It's a reach grabber... not sure what they're called actually, but that's what it does. Squeeze the trigger at the handle and the jaw at the front closes/grabs.

Yes.

I have one in the laundry room for socks that miss the washer and end up behind it it between it and the wall.

They can be pretty handy sometimes.

Yes. For grabbing stuff where your hands can't reach. Once my kid's skateboard fell into a storm drain. Had to make something like that to fish it out
