They were a general-purpose farm dog first used for driving cattle to market and then guarding the money on the way home.
Schnauzers are good for many things. They were used as guard dogs and child companions (they are great with young children). Also, some people used them as mice catchers.
Yes, the are as long as they are pure bred ones! You can get standard and then miniature and giant but they are all pedigree. Hope this helps :)
You could try to breed a giant with a mini but it probably depends on their first impression and if the miniature is intimidated by the giant. Also, prob depends on the gender, and which is which.
No. Giant Schnauzers and Miniature Schnauzers are not the same breed. Giant Schnauzers and Miniature Schnauzers have a common ancestry in that both breeds were "bred-up" and bred-down" from the standard schnauzer. The Miniature Schnauzer was "bred-down" by breeding terriers with the larger Standard Schnauzer. The Miniature Schnauzer is a terrier breed. The Giant Schnauzer is the result of breeding larger breeds, e.g. the Bouvier des Flandres and the Great Dane, with the Standard Schnauzer. The Giant Schnauzer is a Working Dog breed. Other than appearance, the Schnauzer name and their common ancestor, which seems like a lot, the Miniature Schnauzer and Giant Schnauzer share little else.

There are many things that are common in a giant schnauzer. They normally have a square look to them because their height is the same as their length. They are also prone to toe cancer.
