As for your second question. It will affect your whole server, if the size increases and consume space on your hdd. Consider deleting or gziping them from time to time.
P.S.: I don't know for certain if in production the log size are handled automatically.

All the informations about your web applications requests are written in it, and it is quite useful.

When you start your application with rails s you can see it (it is tailing the development.log)

Since its the development.log, you can clean the content, but be sure to leave it there so you can see what your application is doing.
