Snap by distance snaps point if and only if they are within the specified distance. i.e. If you enter 1.0 in the box, two points that are only .2 apart will be snapped, but two points that are 1.5 apart will be ignored. Snapping by a very small distance such as .001 and then optimizing is a common trick to get rid of vertices that are really should be the same but are not because of the limits of numerical precision.

As far as whether or not this is safe with sculpties, it depends on your map. If optimizing does not change the map, then it's okay to optimize.
