It does. It allows dragging from anywhere in the window, not just the titlebar. It also allows resizing by option-right-clicking and dragging.

Not quite. Holding down command, simply put, prevents any changes of focus. It allows you to click buttons, bring up menus, drag stuff around, etc, in a background window without bringing it to the foreground. You can't do anything you couldn't normally do, so you still can only drag normal windows via their title bar. Textured windows can be dragged from their background as normal (although you may notice Safari, among others, has a lot of bugs in places where this doesn't work).

Having said that, some applications break this behaviour - e.g. Mail, if you command-click in the message body in the main window, it brings itself to the front explicitly, which is very bad behaviour.
