Yes it's supposed to jiggle. When it doesn't that means its clogged.

Difference in what? Power? None really. Better gas mileage maybe.

It's more of a regular maintenance item, like changing the oil, except much longer periods between changes. There isn't really a difference, it's just healthy for the engine to do it.
