Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `.tex` file from your device. Its plain text source code will be displayed.

Question 3

Does this tool compile the LaTeX file or show a PDF preview?

No, this viewer only displays the raw text content of the .tex source file. It does not compile the LaTeX code to produce a PDF or any other output format. For that, you need a LaTeX distribution (like TeX Live, MiKTeX) or an online LaTeX editor.
