Well Tim,

We do bother breaking off the tops (that is before it actually blooms into a
flower). It really makes a bigger bulb.

Probably garlic bulbils.

Eat them, make new plants with them, ignore them, or chop them off.

Chopping them off might in theory mean more resource expenditure
on the rest of the plant - but I don't know if anyone bothers.
