Why do we equate each factor to zero?

The product of a number of factors can be zero only if one of them is zero.So, if a given expression is zero, you factorise it and then, by the above rule, the statement is true if any one of the factors is zero. You therefore set each factor equal to zero to find the different possible solutions.

Is this true according to the zero product rule the solutions to the simpler equations are also the solutions to the original equation?

Yes, according to the zero product rule, if a product of factors equals zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. Therefore, if you simplify an equation into factors and find the solutions for those simpler equations, those solutions will also hold true for the original equation, provided that the simplification was valid and no extraneous solutions were introduced.
