you must hold the autobloc with your hand sliding it down as you rappel make sure it is long enough to clip to your harness as well to reach above your device.
One differance is that you can release the Auto bloc under load which can be an advatage if used as a Repell break but it does make touch -ey as an ascender
That depends on what you do with this tool. It is much like a prusik sling in the way it can be place on a rope and used to grap a point as well as easliy slide along and be moved . It is not Multi Directional like the prusik but one advantage is that it is very easy to release even under load. It works very well as a back up for repell.

Easier is a relative thing
One differance is that you can release the Auto bloc under load which can be an advatage if used as a Repell break but it does make touch -ey as an ascender
and even more so if used in a hauling system.
