I know these are numpty questions, but guess what - I'm a numpty

Do you just use it as a link between the car's OBD and your laptop? If so, where does it actually go?

Yes, it's basically an OBDII (including CAN, so hopefully our cars as well, which use CAN SF) to USB adapter basically. Once you have that hooked between the car and the laptop, you can use any number of free tools to monitor car data, or write your own software for it (or build a scangauge-like custom device to do whatever you want on an embedded platform).
