Default New venture into Macro

I want to expand my interests into Macro photograpy. Up to now I have used my CP4500 or my 300D with a Sigma 50-500 for small subjects.

My questions are

1.What are the advantages of a dedicated macro lens?

2.Also I don't understand the magnification ratios quoted in the tech specs for macro lenses.

3.Can a macro lens of say 150mm be used for general photography?

Can anybody suggest a suitable lens? My budget is c£300. Possibly either Canon/Sigma/Tamron
