How does the existence of committtees in the House and Senate enable Congress to work more eficiently?
Q. Also, How does the use of a filibuster threaten the principles of unlimited debate and majority rule in the Senate?

A. Well, instead of having every rep and senator trying to be an expert on every issue, committees divide the taskload so that groups of reps and senators can concentrate on specific areas of issues. In turn, they are expected to educate their fellow congress members on the key points of their issues so that in theory, all members can make an educated vote when time comes to vote for a bill.
