I am an electronics engineer and the whiteboard scribbles I typically do contain text, block diagrams, graphs and circuit schematics. I did indeed read the (very short) documentation on the eraser tool before posting. I hope this helps, but if I've missed your problem, please clarify. Just like the Paint Bucket tool, it's adapted to vector graphics by converting objects (or closed areas for bucket tool) to paths. But because Inkscape is vectors, it works differently, because it doesn't recognize pixels. There, the eraser simply deletes whatever pixels it touches. I think the main problem is possibly that you're expecting the Eraser tool to work like it does in raster graphics programs. If you have a specific example, please feel free to describe it. But if you want to erase part of something, as you've learned, it's not so simple. As long as you are erasing entire objects, this should not create any problems. And that you want to use the Eraser tool as if you were wiping off something you wrote, possibly to rewrite over it. I might guess that you want to write with the Calligraphy tool, as if you were writing on the projector or white board. Now they are 2 separate paths, and you can select either one as you wish. To separate them, all you need to do is Path menu > Break Apart. The Calligraphy tool produces paths in the first place, so if you erase part of a calligraphy drawing, you still end up with 2 or more subpaths.
And 2nd, it changes the object to a path, consisting of 2 subpaths. First, as you have observed it creates 2 shapes. If you use the Eraser to basically cut it in half, 2 things happen. If you draw a circle, this results in a circular or elliptical object. But I will try to answer what you've asked. I'm not exactly sure what it is that you want to do. And here's a link to the chapter on the Eraser tool in the manual. Before I start, please refer to the links in my signature for some excellent instructional material.
