It’s not replacing your laptop’s RAM. It’s using the pen drive as RAM memory along with your real RAM.

Yes, but probably not significantly enough because USB is fast in comparison to a hard drive, but not in comparison to real RAM.

Yes, it does. If you remove it, your entire system will shut down, and you risk corrupting important system files. It is best to use a reliable, micro-USB and/or have it stuck firmly to the computer.

Yes. You can use it on your laptop.

Open Windows Explorer using (Windows+E), on the left hand corner. Right-click “This PC” or “Computer” (depending on your operating system). Then click Properties. You can now view all the System information such RAM, processor etc.

Does the USB memory add to the total memory?

Not necessarily. The USB was made to carry data, so the data is actually on the stick, but is shown on the computer as “extra storage.” Also, computer storage is way different than memory; I suggest you read up a little on terminology so you don’t end up using the wrong words.
