I was just thinking about knots used for fishing, then knots in general. There are many different knots, for all sorts of purposes. All of them are cool and interesting in their own way. If you've never learned the various knots and their practical uses, consider picking up a length of rope. There are books, pdfs, and videos to get you started (though there probably isn't a youtube video on nooses).

Yes.

But let me ask you something: If you need to kill a person, why bother with all of the trouble to properly hang him or her. Why not just kill them? Knives do a spectacular job of ending a life. Bats aren’t so bad either.

It makes cleanup easier and safer by limiting exposure to pathogens found in people's bodily fluids.

There may be some instances where hanging someone may be a good deterrent, when it's done where others can see the results. And perhaps a slow hanging where a person's toes can barely touch the ground may be a proper death for a traitor. But of course, if death is the only objective, and optics or torture is not necessary, then pretty much any heavy object will suffice.

Hanging can also be made to look like a suicide. My dear cousin Sara was murdered this way by her husband.
