Is this real gold or plated?

It is 14k yellow gold, per the product specs, not a plated or gold-filled chain. That makes it a longer-wearing piece than gold-tone fashion jewelry.

It is 18 inches, which sits around the collarbone on most women. There is no extender, so the fit is fixed.

What kind of chain is it?

It is a herringbone chain, a flat woven pattern that reflects light in a fluid, shiny band. It closes with a clasp.

Herringbone links are flat and can crease or kink if bent or stored loosely. Laying it flat or hanging it avoids most of that.

A light pendant can work, but the flat herringbone links are not built for heavy charms. Keep pendants small to avoid stressing the weave.

Wipe it with a soft cloth and keep it away from perfume, chlorine and harsh cleaners. Store it flat or hanging to protect the links.
