Can someone clarify this for me?
Who would need to catch up? And why?

It's partly to let fans take a breather after such an intense arc and slowly build hype for the new one, but primarily, it's probably to allow for the staff (script-writers, animators, etc.) to properly plan the arc out and ensure everyone's where they need to be and with enough time to deliver.

As above, plus a little plot building (for example, Gohan's back in action).
It was a wise choice.
I learned english listening to songs. So I don't know anything about. The day you had to learn play piano by just listening .mp3, you'll understand.

More than likely for breather purpose, both for animation and a story point of view..
Toyotaro also will catch up like this, he is going to be involved more
