Direct buried vs in conduit?
In conduit is way better option. Protects the cable from people digging around it. At least will hit conduit before hitting the wire. Also protects the cable from whatever is placed in the hold when backfilling

Do electrical wire cables have to be clamped with cable connectors when they enter electrical panel box?
For cable not in conduit and intended to be installed without conduit, such as NM cable, yes. You must provide some form of connector that will hold the cable in place. A clamp is not the only kind of connector that will do this but is the most common.
Will 16mm twin dc cable fit into 25mm conduit?
If 16mm is the overall diameter of the cable, yes - If that's the diameter of one core, then no.

Can you run Ethernet out doors or should it be incased in conduit?
The outer casing of an Ethernet cable does not have a UV rating and will deteriorate under the summer sun. Pull the cable into a conduit and if possible bury the conduit underground. This will give you a safe and secure link.

How do you get a power cable through a hose?
You should probably use electrical conduit approved for this purpose, and not hose - anything else is unsafe and will fail. To get the cable through the conduit: Find a styrofoam ball, ping-pong ball, or similar very lightweight ball just slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the conduit. Push the end of a piece of lightweight nylon twine (longer than your conduit) through the ball and tie it in a knot. On one end of the conduit, attach the hose of a shop-vac - and at the other end, drop in your ball. The vacuum will suck the ball and twine through the conduit. Retrieve the ball. Then use the twine to pull your line through the conduit (if small wire), or to pull a length of stronger rope or cable through before attaching it your wire.

What are the advantage of using copper wire armoured cable?
The advantage of using armoured cable over rigid conduit systems is the flexibility of the cable. There are some situations where conduit can not be bent into the shade needed to make a proper connection to a device. Because of the flexibility if the armoured cable it can be used instead to make a presentable looking job.
