You shoot the hook by holding down the weapon's alternative attack button - on consoles, it is left trigger. This action will only work if you have a demon in your crosshair that you can grab. You also need to be within the grappling hook's range.

You pull yourself towards monsters for two reasons:

You can fire the Super Shotgun from a very short distance.
You can use a charged Blood Punch. If the Blood Punch is strong enough, the monster will die instantly.

Using the grappling hook is optional for the vast majority of the campaign - Doom Eternal: Grappling hook - how to use it? - Combat - Doom Eternal Guide

Using the grappling hook is optional for the vast majority of the campaign. The exception is the penultimate boss - Khan Maykr from mission 12. Every time you destroy her shield, you have to pull yourself towards the boss and use Blood Punch to take 1 health point. You will have to do it a few times.
