The absolute least I can say is that they open more doors.
1 - Only at the higher end of the spectrum. The farther you go, the more knowledge you will find that is not available via googling.
2 - They can in some circumstances. Some certs are basically money printers (there is a CCIE on my team and he sets his own billable rate). If you want to work in government, you need a few just to qualify. I'm consulting and clients are not vetting me personally (they outsourced that to my firm) but they seem to like knowing that I have a few in lieu of an actual technical interview. For regular private employment I think the value is limited.
I've seen a lot of guys at clients with alphabet soup outlook signatures asking some really basic questions. Evidently they worked to get those people hired but I'm not sure about the value they are getting from them otherwise.
