Um... maybe you should reread the description for Hobble... it REDUCES movement BY 1, not TO 1.

It's not often that I disagree with Trojasmic, but this time I do.  Reducing the move by one is pathetically pointless, especially now that a ton of monsters have been given ridiculously large moves per turn.

Hobble should either reduce the move to one, or do so for the duration of the combat.

Its uses is indeed very limited, but you can use it on a jug and run around and kite him all day.

Are the effects of Hobble cumulative?

No, and the ability also has a pretty long cool down. It generally only works on big & slow things.
