Why should use the Control Panel rather than deleting files when uninstalling a software application?

Because - simply deleting the program from the hard drive isn't enough. When you install a program, Windows embeds references to the program into the registry, and tells other drivers the program is available for use. When you uninstall a program through the control panel, all references to the program are removed - from various areas of the computer.
If you simply delete the program files from the hard-drive - the registry is unaffected, and the computer will still try to link a (now non-existent) program to everything that program used to be connected to.

How do systems software and applications software interact?
Typically System Software invokes (or starts, or executes) the Application Software. The Application Software then makes calls into the System Software to obtain resources (e.g. more memory), and perform operations on files (read/write), or send messages (tcp/ip). The Systems Software keeps control over which files and/or devices that the application software has access to, and can also control how much memory and even how much CPU time the application software is using.

No, it would be best if you uninstall the software first in the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Once you have removed the software, it is safe to delete the folder(s) that contain the software. Save you a lot of trouble if you remove the software first, if you don't it won't let you remove the software from the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel because the computer will have trouble looking for the folder(s) that contain the software that you just deleted.
