Kernel is a bridge between the hardware and the software.
Some kernels include features such as overclock/underclock/different schedulers/volume boosts etc
You have to unlock the bootloader.
Yes, they are.

Can u recommend a kernel that is good for volume boost. Is it true that if i unlock the boot loader i cannot claim the warranty ?

Some kernels have sound boost implemented. I doubt any of the Arc kernels do though.
