Does 50 piece set come with a ratchet? It’s not in all pictures, only one…

No, it does not come with a ratchet.

So, the obvious question, are impact sockets necessary at the 1/4" size and if so for what use cases and applications?

I work with as small a tool as possible for a couple reasons. Less clunky. Ratchet finer teeth. Fits in tighter spaces. I have also discovered battery ratchets. I didn't use air ratchets a lot because I hated the noise. When using power tools, in theory, you should not use chrome tools. They are prone to crack because they are only intended for hand use, and are therefore harder. Given the cost of chrome sockets, you don't want to break them unnecessarily. So, the impact sockets, assuming they are thin enough to fit into the space are a good choice. Neiko seems to have a reasonably thin wall. Snap-on used to describe those as power sockets, to be used with power ratchets. Impact sockets were thicker yet, and designed to be used with impacts. The Neiko seems to be thin, but impact rated. I have been very pleased with this brand. I use the heck out of 1/4" . When that doesn't work, then 3/8". Seldom use 1/2"

What is the difference between the 50 and 54 piece sets?

Well, the image does not change when you select the 54 piece. I bought the 54 piece a while back and that one includes a ratchet, some size adapters to make the ratchet compatible with what is in the set, etc....
