In Inkscape you put a shape on top of an image, then apply the clip and it gets clipped to the shape. That works with paths but also bitmaps.
It may seem unintuitive but you can work with raster images in Inkscape too.

Yes, but it seems like a design choice by the developers which i dont understand. It seems they just omitted a step on purpose (filled paths).
