Does it need an air compressor?

No. It is a corded electric tool, so it plugs into a wall outlet and needs no compressor or hose.

How do the power settings work?

There are four settings. Lower gears suit softwoods and higher gears suit hardwoods, adjusted by pressing the head.

Is it good for furniture building?

It is aimed at light trim, upholstery and craft work. For structural joints or dense hardwoods, a larger nailer is the safer choice.

The maker claims up to 35 fasteners per minute for continuous work.

Our take on the 18ga 2-in-1 Electric Brad Nailer/Stapler

A corded electric 2-in-1 tool that drives 18-gauge brad nails up to 1-1/4 inch and 1/4-inch crown staples up to 1 inch. It runs on a 1800W motor with four power settings and a claimed rate of 35 fasteners per minute, so no compressor or air hose is needed. The safe-tip design and quick-release mechanism target trim, upholstery and craft work. Buyers rate it poorly overall, so treat the power and jam-free claims with caution and expect a heavier, corded tool than a pneumatic or battery nailer.
