It's a general-purpose language-intergrated querying toolset used to access data contained in in-memory collections/objects, databases, XML documents, a filesystem, or pretty much any other data source you care to mention.

"Better" is a subjective term. If you're using .Net 2.0, Linq isn't even available, so ADO is the better choice.

It depends on how you use it. It may get worst performance if not used properly.
