1) One type, he stabs. The other, he throws the syringe at them. 2) He's a medic, if his primary directive wasn't to heal others he'd be a total waste of design. 3) So that they're not completely defenseless. 4) Splicers aren't stupid, just crazy. Some of them might have the capabilities to heal others. 5) Spliers drop FAKs so you can stock up on them. If they actually used them in combat you'd be rather surprised (and annoyed) that their health just shot up.
