2-In fiction they work well within they're universes, but reality they don't have any application besides being behemoths.

3-But modern militaries are developing weapons that are smarter, smaller, and accurate, not a something that relies purely on it's sheer size and strength.

4-You're more likely to see real robot mechs of Titan size or less because they can actually be deployed in the streets or mountains. 1-Well, Gundam has the excuse of being XXXX years into the future where the tech (normally) allows the mass-production of such mechas. Metal Gears in MGS/R don't have as good an excuse.

2-I don't know, if an actual Gundam or Metal Gear existed in Real Life, the only way to win would be nukes. Nukes that can be avoided or even shot/sliced before they hit them.

3-Except, it's the same in Gundam (sans the "smaller" part, that varies) and Metal Gear.

4-......Of Titan-size or less? Because they can be deployed in the streets or mountains? Did you mess up and meant another size?

Besides, in mountains it makes sense but could they really be deployed in an urban area? With all the buildings and such in the way, depending on how big the mecha is it can be difficult to not hit them mid-combat.

Then again, if they are only just-as-big as the average buildings and one doesn't care much about collateral damage, it remains somewhat practical. Like typical urban warfare, just bigger scale.
