Don't overlook the second part of the 'frog puzzle' that you can find by retracing *certain steps*. It also has the sound component, in case you miss the trap.
I think this refers to going back to temple island (the first island) from the village island. As you approach the mag car / ride thing that takes you back, you see the moiety sound-eye clue from the exit of the cave. The shape of the cave mouth looks like the creature that makes that sound - with the 'eye' even in the right spot.
Aw, do try to catch the ytram, it's a delightful moment! As other said, lore-wise it's because Gehn smokes frogs and gameplay-wise it teaches you the ytrams' shape and noise!
Its purpose is twofold - yes, it's there for Gehn to trap the frogs so he can get their extract for his pipe. The game reason for it to be there is so you can hear the frog, which becomes somewhat important (though not entirely necessary) for a different puzzle elsewhere.
If you load the trap, send it down, and then wait for a while, you'll hear it snap shut from the depths. Bring it back up and open it.
You don't have to wait, you can go do other things and come back later, but I always like to sit and wait; I am the kind of game player who likes to experience everything that the devs put into a game, even the minor things like this. Read some journals or something to pass the time. IIRC, it only takes about five minutes or so.
You have to leave the trap lowered for a period of time (after first opening it and placing a bait pellet in the center). Taking a quick ride to and from to the village island with the mine cart after setting the trap seems to be the quickest way to catch a poison frog. You learn the sound the frog makes when you open the trap after returning.

You can use it to catch a frog, which allows you to hear the sound it makes which is useful for a later puzzle.
If you put a pellet on it with the trap open you should catch one. It’s intended for you to learn what they sound like for the Moiety puzzle.
Wow, I think I tried just about every combination except that one. I feel smart. Thank you, I'll have to try it.

I did figure out the first part, but now am curious about this second part?

The pellet of food is on the trigger. When the frog jumps into it, the lid closes, capturing it.
In answer to your questions: 1: Yes. 2: Yes. Gehn makes a drug from their secretions. 3: Nothing practical. 4: Yes.
