BH> 1. What exactly does File menu command "Compact Stack" do? What 
BH> is compacted? 

When you add and delete cards and do other manipulations of your stacks, they will grow even though some of the space in the stack is free.  You can see how much free space is in a stack by getting the Stack Info.  Compact Stack removes the free space.
