They do this as a form of dust bathing or to scratch an itch. Cats dust bathe (or bathe in litter) to replenish their body's beneficial bacteria and to scratch itches. When an outdoor cat rolls in dirt, she covers herself in soil that contains beneficial digestive bacteria. She then grooms herself with her tongue and ingests these bacteria, which keep her body functioning well. A cat that is frequently bathed or brushed will instinctively dust bathe more often to replace bacteria removed by human grooming. Cats without access to the outdoors dust bathe wherever they can--usually in the litter box.

To the best of my knowledge, nothing. Some cats find the scent of catnip alluring and somewhat intoxicating - they may roll around in it, eat it and play with it, then run around with a lot of energy afterwards.
