When combined with the outer portion it applies pressure to the
individual boards.
It's basically a variation on these:

No. Its purpose is to hold the joint square rather than draw it together.

Very tiny ones. If they're a problem, small rubber pads are available.
They're terrific.

How do you deal with the divots that are made by the clamp?

That's always been my question about these clamps. Maybe use
double-stick tape to put some sacrificial wood pads under the clamp?
But they are never shown that way. Of course, if you were planning to
plane or sand after assembly, the marks might be shallow enough to get
removed?
