does this tool work so that you can get an angle and then it will let you know the degree on saw?

that's what it is designed to do, so yes if apply it to the angle you want to cut you just have to make the cut at that angle

Will this lay flat on a table, even with the wing nut?

The square head will lay flat on a table surface, the square head measure read plate is 1.22mm or 3/64'' thick thus leaving the measure indicating arm that much above the surface.Hope this answers the question and is helpful. Oscar

Are the edges of the protractor rectangular plate with the graduation truly square?. Can you use any edge adding 90 degrees when using the sides?

First question answer is yes, I checked mine at 90 degrees and 45 degrees. Second question answer yes, I have drawn two lines parallel using each side of the protractor arm. The markings run left to right to left and left to right on two levels. Trust this explanation has answered your questions.

The bar, from the pivot point to the extremity is 150 mm long, 15 mm wide and about 1.5 mm thick made of stainless steel The angle measuring plate measures 90mm by 52mm.

Needed something for my son for home for his math homework. We had one from a certain company with a mustache, and it was an utter piece of junk, so we wanted something more useful, not plastic. This looked like it would work, and was metal. So we gave it a try. Love that unlike the others we were using, the standard arched plastic ones, it's easy to draw the angle with a single placement of the protractor and a single movement of the pencil. The thumb screw tightens for people who need that to hold it steady while using it. I was worried the size would be a bit awkward, but it's proven to not be the case. Can't beat it for the price, best protractor I've ever had.
