Answer to Question 1

Ready-to-bake pastry shells have an exact protocol or criteria for production, whereas a hand-rolled pastry is prone to more variation based on individual production.

Answer to Question 2

Yes, chilling the dough makes it easier to handle when rolling it out and prevents the fat from melting into the flour. It also allows the flour to have more time to rehydrate and the gluten time to relax so that, during baking, it can expand the same rate as the gases.
