Holding your breath lets you be able to hold your breath for longer periods of time.
If you want to develop your lungs then breathing exercises are probably better. Tai Chi is very much about breath control (as well as body control) and can lead to substantial gains. Learning circular breathing is another good way. I learnt on a didgerido

No, by holding your breath for periods of time while doing exercise i.g. swimming it will decrease the amount of Oxygen your body needs to function. It does not strengthen your lungs in anyway because they will only grow with age. The endurance party will increase because your body needs less oxygen so your heart rate will decrease and your muscles will tire less quickly.
