1 - With root access I'm able to do more functions "have more power" tell me why?

The root user has full access to make all modifications where other users are not as privileged. There will be limitations to what can be modified when utilizing a non-privileged user.

2 - The password for my domain cpanel is the same as whm, any chance in have both totally different?

It depends, do you log into WHM with the root user or with a reseller user that's the same username as your cPanel account?

3 - Any possible to change/block or hide some entries on my domain DNS like (whm.site.com / cpanel.site.com / webmail.site.com ....) ? Looks unsafe

You can block access to those from everyone but your IP address and/or IP's you've authorized, though this can only be managed through WHM as the root user or a fully privileged reseller user.
