But you can nail those things down before coding begins, just through talking with them. You don't need to literally change the code completely every week - iterating a plan is much easier than iterating a codebase!

Not necessarily, and it really depends on the customer and on the software. You feed the learnings from one iteration into the next - it's not intended to change the code completely every week, but to allow maximum flexibility in the backlog.

But with 2 weeks of coding, you can save yourself an hour of planning.
