What does this mean?

The soorahs are given names, because each one discusses a particular topic which makes it stand out from other soorahs, and contains rulings, exhortation and etiquette, and it has a particular significance in that the one who recites it will have a reward according to what the soorah contains of exhortation and rulings that are unique to it.

What does this mean?

From my understanding, each Surah is different and there are one's more significant then others and depending on the Surah's topic, it can stand out

Yes, here's an example

Imaam Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Tafsir of Aayat al-Kursi from Surah al-Baqarah:

This is Ayah al-Kursi, which has a high status. It was reported in a sahih hadith from the Messenger (ﷺ) that it is the greatest Ayah in the Book of Allah… It was narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka’b that the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him which ayah in the Book of Allah was the greatest. He said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He repeated it several times, then he said, “Ayah al-Kursi.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Congratulations upon your knowledge O Abu’l-Mundhir. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it has a tongue and two lips, and it glorifies the Sovereign (i.e., Allah) at the foot of the Throne.” This was also narrated by Muslim, without the phrase “By the One in Whose hand is my soul…”.

Surah Al Mulk actually protects you from the punishment of the grave and intercede for you

Actually there isn’t just one benefit from Surah Al Mulk. There’s many actually but reading it before bed will give you a guardian angel as you sleep.

If you read Surah Mulk every night as you already stated it’ll intercede for and protect you from the punishment of the grave
