Your Answer for Question 1:
The C preprocessor is used in #include/#define, ## and other statements such as #if, etc to perform macro substitution, file inclusion, conditional inclusion, and other transformations; replaces comments with whitespace and concatenates source files too. It would be placed prior to the Compiler section in fig 3.21 as it's used before everything is compiled. 

Your Answer for Question 2:
The impact on the C programmer if the first 3 steps were combined (compiler, assembler, linker), would be that it would be harder to use seperate files and link them together (OOP), and it might be slower
