    it's for whois privacy, normally when someone makes a whois on your domain he can directly see all of your details, name address phone # etc.. By using whois guard you can hide all your data such as your address, email address, phone, registrant name etc.. so it's something good to have whois guard or any other privacy protection ;)

    Yes, it's a free service on namecheap and no reason why to just let is expire.

    You should use it. It's free and protects your personal details.
