Scsh inherits these files from Scheme48 (including cmushell.el) whose
manual http://s48.org/0.57/manual/s48manual_6.html answers some of
your questions. Note that there is no particular scsh (or scheme48)
editing mode, it's just Scheme mode. The .el files help Emacs running
scheme48 or scsh.

The file name extension is .scm (as you may have noticed, all Scheme
files in the scsh distribution end in .scm). For more information,
ask Emacs C-h v auto-mode-alist, and possibly look up the Emacs info
(C-h i, menu Emacs, menu Choosing Modes).
