If you delete the rescue kernel and initramfs, the next installed kernel
will create new ones for that kernel.

The rescue kernel is not special. It's the initramfs that's special in
that it contains drivers for everything, not just the ones that are
needed to boot. So if you change the hardware to something not
supported by the current set of drivers, you can still use the rescue
boot option to startup.

Yes. What is in them? Usually that's caused by having an out-of-tree
driver installed which doesn't always get cleaned up automatically.
One just had a misc directory, but it was empty. Most have a bunch of
stuff. one does have a modual for a usb wireless adapter I have that the
fedora one wasn't supporting but this one worked. Was connecting to
two networks using notebook built-in wireless and the usb. Worked but
found hooking to the other network via a hard wired connection was
faster and easier.
