With icomplete-mode, C-h m tells you that:

C-, is icomplete-backward-completions
C-. is icomplete-forward-completions

And you can always:

(define-key icomplete-minibuffer-map (kbd "C-n") 'icomplete-forward-completions)
(define-key icomplete-minibuffer-map (kbd "C-p") 
'icomplete-backward-completions)

With icomplete-mode C-j would do what you want (it is bound to 
icomplete-force-complete-and-exit).

I looked at your video, most of the time I do not understand what you try 
to do.  Of course nothing works as you expect it to work, out of the box, 
without reading any documentation.

And yes, ivy and helm have more features, so if you prefer ivy or helm, 
just use ivy or helm.

No, icomplete-mode does not reinvent the wheel, it came first, then came 
ido-mode, then ivy and helm.
