The chart has the history of price action. It tells you what has already happened, which can give you an indication of what the current environment is. Charting is useful because it will tell you if what you think is going on or how you "feel" is supported or refuted by history.
I think anything more complex than trendlines, support and resistance and the big classical patterns (head and shoulders etc.) is largely bullshit.

no, but the way it's done is not rigorous. almost everything in technical analysis can be back-tested, which means done properly technical analysis turns into quant investing.
the best analogy ive seen is technical analysis is to quant investing what alchemy is to modern chemistry.
