Combinatorial optimizations can be applied in a variety of ways including finding the best dispersion of airport hubs combined with flight routes, finding the most economical route for parcel deliveries, and determining what taxis to send where in the city for fares. Most of the real world applications involve travel.
There are many. Some are the odds in games of chance such as poker, dice, and others. Also, when you flip a coin.

The cycle time of the processor is reduced, thus increasing instruction issue-rate in most cases. Some combinatorial circuits such as adders or multipliers can be made faster by adding more circuitry. If pipelining is used instead, it can save circuitry vs. a more complex combinatorial circuit.
Combinatorial chemistry is a process used by chemists to mix large numbers of chemicals to see how they react with each other. It can be used to find chemical properties of an unknown solution.
