Answer 1

It's part of the Microsoft JScript library. The documentation for it is pretty poor. I'm not sure how it works, but I would assume that it looks through the members of an object for things that it can delete.

And, as bdukes mentioned, this should not be called in your code. Leave it to the inner workings of the JScript library.
