You know it's entirely possible that Vol and Jace believe that the Hedrons are Eldrazi artifacts, and that they're simply wrong about it. Without knowing how Sorin and company sealed the Eldrazi, it's hard to guess.
It seems more likely to me, based on some of the hints we had during Zendikar from more impartial sources, that the hedrons are a part of the prison of the Eldrazi, and that they probably are draining the Eldrazi's power. That's what causes Zendikar to be so strange. It seems odd that Sorin and company would go through so much effort to seal the Eldrazi, but leave them a way to connect with Zendikar. We know hedrons can be destroyed after all, so going and smashing the majority of them couldn't have been that hard.
The only problem is the Hedrons were supposedly built in honor of an old Empire(people believe this to be the Eldrazi).
So at least at first the hedrons were built in honor of the Eldrazi and then used as prisons, they weren't originally built as part as the sealing spell that sealed the Eldrazi away.
In this Flavour Article, under Agadeem it says (relevant lines picked out)
So the Hedrons enhance specific sorts of magic, and are possibly a sort of focus or mana storage devise.
As for Vol rumble, no idea.
So, Healing, protection (:symw:)and some kind of illusions (:symu:) works best near the Hedrons?
My guess here is that the Hedrons nullifies "chaotic" and/or destructive magic (such as Chandra's spells), keeping the power of the Eldrazi sealed.
And Vol... I have no idea. He's probably just nuts.

Because they were enslaved by the Eldrazi, who commanded them to do so.
We know that they enslave Vampires for feeding purposes, the other races could also have been forced to do their building for them.
