Lol. No won't take off the laquer. Do a seach, plenty of guides.

As long as you use some sort of lubricant it won't damage anything. it will take any protection you've built up such as wax or sealant but not actual laquer lol. It's good for removing contaminants such as tar etc. If you run your hand over the surface of your car you will probably feel little bits, after you've clayed it it feels smooth!

Depending on how harsh the clay is you might find it leaves a little micromarring on the paint. Would then need a polish afterwards.

But I think the megs clay is quite gentle.

Seeing as it strips wax off anyway you may as well polish and then wax/seal.

Megs is the only clay bar I've ever used-it certainly does the trick,and like truCido said,run your hand over the paintwork and you'll feel the difference.
