First off, please do not top-post.

The answer to your questions is in the documentation: [0] and [1].
The difference between max(1, 2) and max((1, 2)) is none, pretty much.
 max() takes either multiple arguments or an iterable, while sum()
takes only an iterable (and both take an optional argument for some
specific use).
