Does Touch ID work on any Mac?

No. Touch ID requires a Mac with Apple silicon. On Intel Macs the keyboard types and the number pad works, but the fingerprint sensor does not.

No. The keys are not illuminated, so it is not a good choice for dark rooms.

How does it charge, and how long does the battery last?

It charges over Lightning with a cable. Apple rates the battery at about a month or more of typical use per charge.

It pairs over Bluetooth and basic typing works, but Touch ID and some function keys are Mac-only.

The keyboard and a USB-C to Lightning charging cable. No mouse or adapter is included.

The compact model drops the number pad and Touch ID. If you enter numbers often or want fingerprint login, this full-size version is the one to get.
