Platoon firing is for elite units only, royal guards etc. Bog-Standard Line infantry still have fire by rank, although I think that elite units at least should be able to swap between them. I have no idea why anyone would ever use fire and advance personally.
As for defenses, one is the fougasse (a huge bomb requiring light infantry) and the other is plain landmines-no idea how you get those

I believe the second landmine thing is a fougasse that launches grenades and canister when its triggered. You get it with elite light infantry like riflemen or Prussian jaegers.
Fire and advance works best while storming a fort, they advance but still fire to kill people on the wall.(I am not saying this is better than just running and using grapples)
