Docker Swarm and clustering usage

I have a few tasks running in containers, which works as usual, and just stacks. Now I want to add a few machines, for the same tasks. What I'm trying to achieve, it's some kind of Executors and active node pool, where all other tasks queue up.
What I have tried so far, it's just single Docker Container of Jenkins, where we can add new worker machines, and execute usual tasks. Where Jenkins will manage load balancing during work. Nothing special here.
We also have Docker Swarm, for Container Orchestration, which in my understanding, should do the same - Manage Containers (and tasks). And from the Documentation, there is only one task for the Swarm it's managing scale and load balancing on the Server(by splitting traffic between working nodes).
1) Is it possible (and how) to create Docker Swarm cluster as Executor of the active machine, and submit other Containers(a task) to it, so Swarm will manage on which node should it start execution. If no, what is the right solution for such a task (container task submission)?
2) What is the other(maybe few of them) purposes of Docker Swarm, besides managing scale and load balancing (describing in the Doc)? Because general documentation, has example only for scaling Web Application?

It is possible that you are not getting any answers here because this is not programming. In particular we usethis stylefor code, whereas your question appears just to use it to emphasize words that are not instructions in a programming language. stackoverflow.com/help/formatting
