It is a form of quarantine as it is within the avast chest, where files are encrypted and the name changed. Those files can't be accessed from the outside so they are in effect quarantined, but because it isn't moved their by a detection the original file has to be dealt with manually by the user.
The Move on a detection is quite correct avast moves the infected file from its original location into the chest. When you manually 'add' a suspicious file to the user files section you are just copying the original to the chest, so the actions are different and the original still exists.
Why would you put RootRepeal.exe in the chest (it is genuine anti-rootkit tool), if it is because you don't want to run it then remove it. How do you think that you run rootrepeal, you have to extract the executable file from within the zip or rar file, that is why you only see download sites indicating the download file is a zip/rar.
Generic/Suspicious/Heuristic detections are more prone to false positive and in this case I would say the detections are nothing short of paranoid heuristics.
Deletion from the chest does what it says on the tin, it deletes the file in the chest nothing else. Remember if this were a detection by avast and was moved to the chest this is the only location it would exist. Because you manually copied it to the user files section, a copy exists in the original location even if you delete the 'copy' in the chest.
I can't say about the EUI as I don't use it as I use the Home version which uses the SUI, but you have to first open the chest before you can access the different sections/files in the chest, you can't access them directly from the SUI (as I said I can't comment on the EUI).
