AGC is not compression, is a negative feedback loop that reduces gain to maintain a relatively stable output level. If you try to tune on a faint station near strong ones, the stronger carrier pumps the gain down, making tuning difficult. if you cut AGC the gain goes full up. You can cut AGC and reduce gain, but then you'll lack amplification to hear the weak stations.

If manual AGC and volume should be different controls depends on gain distribution across stages in the receiver. In superheterodyne AM receivers, most designs will need both to get best performance.

Not that easy, AGC works both ways, if you disable it you need to provide a manual control to not blow your speaker or your ears or both. AGC controls the screen voltage of some tubes with a big factor of amplification. A typical remote cutoff pentode like a 6sk7 can change some 30-40 dB for stage. 70-80 dB AGC action is not rare.

You are confusing software with technology. Choose boring technology, not choose old software.
