Your Answer for Question 1:
The purpose of the C preprocessor is to take in high level language and replace it with text written in a high level language.  It doesn't do any compiling or translation into assembly language.  For example, if it's a #include statement, it will simply replace the filename with the actual text in that file.

Your Answer for Question 2:
Each time, a computer had to be recompiled, it would have to recompile every single piece of code, even code including libraries.  This would make recompiling take a lot longer even for a simple change.
