The inner pane basically safeguards the load from the passengers during flight. When both the outer and middle panes break, then all the pressurization in the airplane would escape leading to decompression in the passenger cabin. A plane is pressurized for passengers' comfort as it climbs to a higher altitude.

No emergency door can be accidentally opened by passengers. They are all automatically locked from the cockpit before you ever board, and in any case in flight they can't be opened due to the pressure differential inside and outside the plane.
