Yes to all of the above.
Primarily it is the particulates that most filters are designed to remove @ the initial stage of water filtration. This may be done with a sand bed, for instance. Water is then passed through a fiber filter which takes out very tiny particulates, and/or a reverse osmosis filter, which even traps viruses & some large molecules. Municipal water in the United States is some of the most carefully monitored drinking water in the world.

This is merely opinion based, but I do have a filtered water system and can reply from the experience, of drinking water that is manually filtered, and city tap water. Excess Clorine is removed, carbon, sediment, floruride, ,,, well that's all I can come up with that is of noticable difference.
