It only changes the valve timing points and the subsequent rpm range of the cam profile. Yes just like an adjustable cam gear would.
However it can't be manually changed like a normal adjustable cam gear can. Also the heavy weight adds significant parasitic drag on the valvetrain. That's part of the trade off of drivability verses performance.

No it doesn't change duration as it just could not possibly change the duration accurately and quickly enough.
