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.
