Honestly, no. Tracing works beautifully on flat artwork — logos, icons, silhouettes, line drawings, screenshots of solid shapes. It works badly on photographs, because JPG tí fi RGB 8-bit pamọ́ láti inú DCT tí a gbọ́dọ̀ gbọ́dọ̀̀ and a photo has no clean edges to follow; the tracer emits thousands of tiny paths that are larger and uglier than the original.

The tracer quantises your JPG into a small number of colour regions, finds the boundary of each region, and fits Bezier curves along those boundaries. The result is real SVG geometry — paths and fills, not a pixel image wrapped in XML.

Close, not identical. Curve fitting smooths jagged pixel edges, which usually looks better on a logo and worse on a texture. Expect small colour merges where two similar shades were adjacent in the JPG.

Feed it the highest-resolution, least-compressed JPG you have, with high contrast and as few colours as possible. Remove JPEG artefacts and dithering first if you can — the tracer treats compression noise as real edges and faithfully vectorises it.
You choose. Fewer colours give simpler, smaller, more editable SVG output; more colours track the JPG more closely at the cost of path count. Two to eight colours is the sweet spot for a logo.
Yes — the output is plain SVG geometry, so every path is selectable, recolourable and reshapeable in any vector editor. That is usually the whole point of tracing: recovering an editable logo when only a flat JPG survived.
No. Text that was flattened into the JPG is now pixels, and tracing turns those pixels into outlines that merely look like letters. To get real text back you would retype it in a vector editor and match the font.
Transparent regions are simply left unfilled in the SVG, which is the vector equivalent. Semi-transparent pixels are approximated to the nearest opaque fill or dropped, since a traced region has one flat fill rather than a per-pixel alpha value.
Why is my SVG file huge?
+
Too many colours or a noisy source. Every distinct region becomes a path, so a photographic JPG can produce tens of thousands of them. Reduce the colour count and pre-clean the JPG, or accept that this particular image is not a vectorisation candidate.
