Pushback Ops

I was observing an aircraft being pushed back yesterday. I was just wondering why is there a need for the rear driver's station on the tug.

Also, mid way through the push, the tug was disconnected, repositioned and then reconnected to pull the aircraft forward. It was still being driven with the rear station during the pull-forward portion.

When the tug is driven from the rear driver's station, can the driver engage the different steering modes?
