Without knowing what wiki you're talking about there is no good way to answer all your questions. Wikis aren't all the same.

2. To mark as patrolled, it wrote go to diff page to proceed confirmation. In my case, why it marked a new thread in a message wall needed to be patrolled when there is no related diff page I can go to turn it off? Message Walls aren't really supported by the patrolling extension as far as I know. Ask FANDOM staff at Special:Contact/general.

3. How useful now is this extention to the admins and content moderators? Is it neccessary? Could someone fill in the gap that I don't know about patrolling? orz.

The extension is very useful for wikis that have the people to mark edits patrolled. It prevents duplication of effort.

It isn't necessary, of course. The main tricks for using it is that some edits are grouped and you have to expand them in Recent Changes to see them all. In the grouped case you click "prev" instead of "diff".
