Your Answer for Question 1:
The C preprocessor is a first step before compilation, where it checks for #include and #define statements in the C course code, and replaces them with the appropriate text.  Its input and output are the text in the source code.  If it were a separate step in Figure 3.21, it would be placed before the actual compilation, so the 1st step.

Your Answer for Question 2:
It would be a waste of computer resources and the programmer's time, because a change to a single line of code could mean recompiling and assembly the entire code each time.
