1. Different kernel's to choose from most likely to boot to. SMP is multi-processor support. Not sure about the other. Check your lilo.conf or grub.conf file to find out which one is which, etc.

2. Seems to me that stands for Netscape Mail. If your users are using netscape, then its probably creating these folders to hold their email. I wouldn't delete until finding out if they need them or not, etc.
