It is a dedicated external audio interface. So rather than using the on-board mic input and digital converter it has a higher quality preamp and converter. it also allows the use of condenser microphones which require phantom power (+48V) which motherboards aren't able to supply. A typical use would be for a musician to be able to record multiple tracks (vocals + instrument) at the same time.

Thanks

The NT1-A is a good mic, and the 2i2 will suit fine (although you could drop down to the solo). The mic stand you've selected is a proper mic stand of the type usually used in live performances... you may be better off with a desk stand, either an arm or a short stand depending on how much space you've got.
