Site map is very important it provides food for the search engine spiders that crawl your site. The site map gives the spider links to all the major pages of your site, allowing every page included on your site map to be indexed by the spider. This is a very good thing! Having all of your major pages included in the search engine database makes your site more likely to come up in the search engine results when a user performs a query. Your site map pushes the search engine toward the individual pages of your site instead of making them hunt around for links. A well-planned site map can ensure your Web site is fully indexed by search engines.

Yes, the same, site map is the summary of all the pages in a website. On the website it self there is .html sitemap which contains all the pages with its title for the users and .xml sitemap contains the entire urls of a website for the crawler of search engines.

Sitemaps benefits your website, not only for easier navigation for the users, but also offer the opportunity to inform search engines immediately about any changes on your site. Of course, you cannot expect that search engines will rush right away to index your changed pages but certainly the changes will be indexed faster, compared to when you don't have a sitemap.
