I would like to be educated about the Keychain Access App located in Applications / Utilities / Keychain Access App / Login

I see that I have duplicates there although they have a different date.

What is the purpose of this app? What would be the possible usage / need to do anything in this Keychain app?
Is it safe to delete any entries? For example, I have one named Unknown with a red X on it.
I understand why my Safari Forms Autofill would be there. But, curious to me, my email account has multiple listings. Why would that be?

And so kindly explain the difference between All Items, Passwords, Secure Notes, My Certificates, Keys, and Certificates.
