Diff between a/t armed and off?

What is the difference between autothrottle being armed and off?
Reading all the entries in this topic my guess is armed means
its ready to intercept the ILS to activate the autothrottle?

Second question - Why did the first responders need to throw their knives up to the flight attendents to remove the SLF seat belts? Seat belts prone to jam?

Thanks
