The question is do you really need to "seize the collar" in order to finish that take down? IMO, that collar seizing is not necessary. A simple neck push will be good enough to take your opponent down after you have picked his leading leg.
Of course not. It's a setup to finish.
The question is answered in the use of force spectrum. The applicant may be using this on a bandit who may have killed or injured someone already, and merely pushing him over isn't a viable option at this point. The goal or objective is to incapacitate his ability, perhaps even terminally.
While the gi is not common attire for westerners, the attire or clothing of the period would play a role in kata development.
Yes, a push would be an easier and earlier end to the exercise. As the opponent is on the ground, and the defender is standing. A good outcome, but it hasn't fully resolved the conflict. Some opponents may refuse to give up hostiles here, and simply stand up and continue to fight.
