Powdered sugar can become lumpy due to moisture exposure, which causes the sugar particles to clump together. This moisture can come from humidity in the air or from being stored in a damp environment. Additionally, the presence of cornstarch, often added to prevent clumping, can also absorb moisture and contribute to lumps if not stored properly. Keeping powdered sugar in an airtight container in a cool, dry place can help prevent this issue.

What is the difference in desolving a lump of sugar and powdered sugar?
Assuming the solvent liquid is hot enough to dissolve all of the sugar and that the "lump" is more coarse than the powder, putting in the higher-density lump would impose diffusion-limited decomposition. In other words, putting in powdered sugar would allow faster absorption into the liquid, since there is more surface area of sugar exposed to the solvent. However, air resistance of small sugar particles between the powder source and solvent could lead to loss through in the pouring process, limiting the efficiency of sugar saturation.
What does powdered sugar do for sugar cookies?
Powdered sugar makes for a lighter texture and flavor when used in making cookies. However, more powdered sugar than granular sugar has to be used to obtain a sweeter taste. Also, powdered sugar is used on top of sugar cookies, sprinkled, to create a design/decoration, and to give the taste buds the initial enjoyment when one first bites into the cookie.

No. Powdered sugar absorbs water, whereas granulated sugar does not. This makes a huge difference in baking, since interchanging these can turn the texture into something brick-like. (It is similar to attempting to substitute sweetcorn kernals for cornflour).
