It improves insulation very slightly, but not to the extent that you’d use it as a justification for doing it.

It can make bricks more weather resistant, if it’s properly breathable. Otherwise it can trap moisture in behind it, which causes the bricks to spall via the freeze/thaw cycle. This is why you should use lime-based render and mortar rather than concrete-based.

If I was throwing those stones it I’d stand much further away from the wall in order to make it look more impressive to anyone walking by. I’d also roar with every throw.

Yes.
And have done it before.

guess the further back you stand, the more area you cover with one throw…but then the stones won’t be as dense

bit of an art

This is correct.

Pretty sure we were picking off bits of paint, we weren’t gouging holes in the ceiling. We absolutely would have done if our puny child hands were strong enough though.
