Based on the photo from the link you posted, it seems like it’s a ‘switch’ to turn output power on and off.

I would assume yes but you will only know for sure once you receive it and test it.

Easier to test with multimeter. Just check if your getting 5v between gnd and vout. If your not then short key to gnd and see if it works then.
