It is for the optional foreign plug adapters. You slide off the American adapter and you can slide on the euro, or Chinese, ETC... adapters.

If you slide the adapter apart you can remove the 2 AC prongs and add an AC cord to the block itself. then you can have a type of extension cord with the block part closer to you where you plug the USB adapter into and don't have to bend down all the time.

Apple also sells a long cord that plugs into that so the brick doesn’t have to be in the wall and gives you more length. Most people just get longer usb to lightning cords though.

While the first question is not quite clear, the answer to the second question is simply that when unplugged, the adapter takes a nap. It is not a wireless device.
