(Answer to Q. 1)  For someone today, or even many people living at that time, it would seem the heretics' behavior was irrational and not in their own self interest. But, in their own eyes, they may have been acting rationally and with self-interest. Given their goals, dying rather than recanting their views was in their self-interest, especially if they believed such a death guaranteed them eternal life. They believed they would have been worse off had they recanted their views. The benefit of dying for their cause was greater to them than the cost of dying.
