Mobiil-ID and Smart-ID just register a new certificate to your ID, so it's the same mechanism, different UX :)

Yes but the UX works better much of the time. Downside of course is that you can't sign documents without an Internet connection, if that's something you may need to do. And the fact that you need a phone

Yes, of course. Alternatives consodered, I think the Estonian eID is really well thought out and implemented in maybe the best way possible. Really pleased with it.
