1. Jellyfin for Kodi is supposed to be used to sync your Jellyfin server's contents into Kodi's internal database. This has the effect that navigating feels like vanilla Kodi because all the default menus get populated. If you're not syncing your server into Kodi's database, then you should really use JellyCon instead, as it's much more optimized for that dynamic menu building. However, JellyCon requires making custom shortcuts on your home screen and is skin dependent. The default Kodi skin doesn't support this customization.
2. Again, if you're synced your metadata into Kodi's database, you interact with it exactly as you would a vanilla Kodi install. There's not a search function built into the addon because you're not really meant to use it in dynamic mode. And again, JellyCon does have one.
3. Transcoding resolution is based on your screen resolution. If you want to change the transcode quality, you need to adjust the bitrate limits in the addon settings. Even in the web UI the resolutions are more approximations based on the bitrate selection, I don't believe any client supports actually transcoding to a specific resolution, it's all approximations.
