Why do some Christian churches hold Confirmation ceremonies when people are in their teens?

Infant baptism does not involve a conscious decision to be a Christian. Confirmation ceremonies are at least intended to show confirmation of that decision at an age when the teenager can make a conscious choice to be a Christian or otherwise. Thus the Confirmation ceremony is used to demonstrate an ongoing commitment as a Christian.

In some churches, yes. In some churches, no. It depends on the architectural design of the church.

If there is no architectural distinction between the Sanctuary and the nave (the space in which people gather) then the whole space can be called the Sanctuary.
