Personally I can tell you squat about non-sports cards, but you might also try asking the same thing on the Net54 sister site Non-Sports Card forum, whose ad is at top right of this page. Here is a link as well:

Yes, they started as cigarette pack stiffeners and moved into caramel and candy before bubble gum. Then got big on their own.
Some of the biggest rarities were intentional short prints like The Strong Man (Schutter Johnson I want to be a... series), American Caramel Presidents William McKinley, and Western Series Cowboy Outfit. Basically, these cards were required to complete the set in order to redeem for a pair of roller skates or a pound of chocolate or some other prize. 1938 Horrors of War, 1952 Look-N-See, 1962 Mars Attacks, 1985 Garbage Pail Kids are consistently collected. The ~1880 Marquis de Lorne card is rare and valuable and was thought to be the first ever tobacco card. Famous actors, presidents, space heroes, etc have a following.

And, after you get to the site referenced above, click on "Gallery" and spend a few hours exploring the beauty and diversity of non-sports cards

I collect a ton of non-sports cards. Non-sports tobacco cards predate Sports by several years. It was thought the Marquis of Lorne card was the 1st Tobacco card set but the past few years we have discovered that the likely 1st set was the N342 Between The Acts series that began roughly 1877-1878 by the Thomas Hall Tobacco Co. they continued to make cards of actresses/actors from that time period all the way into the 1890’s.
That same outfit produced the first set of sports Tobacco cards as well around 1881. It is a set of 12 cards featuring “pedestrians” (long distance runners of sorts) and “oarsmen”. I have nearly the whole set of those cards if you wanted to see some. Baseball cards began several years later in and around 1886 with the Old Judge series (N167)

It really depends on your personal tastes, but there are some great sets. Personally, I'm a huge fan (and collector) of the 1933 Sea Raiders set. Made by World Wide Gum (same people who made the 1933 Goudey set). Visually more impressive than any baseball set I've ever owned.

Non sports
There are hundreds of non-sports sets, with some of the most beautiful and interesting cards that exist. Just like with baseball, several sets have some real rarities, along with short printed high number cards, printing errors, etc. It would take hours and hours to answer all of the questions that you asked.
