Does the Levi's Austen top run true to size?

It is cut as a slim fit, so it sits close to the body. Shoppers who want a looser look or who are between sizes usually go up one.

Can I wear it on its own or only as a layer?

Both. The scoop neck and button front make it fine as a standalone top; the thin ribbed knit also layers easily under a jacket or overshirt.

A soft ribbed knit, which gives it stretch and texture. It is not a woven cotton shirt, so expect it to cling rather than drape.

It has the same easy feel but adds a scoop neck and button placket, so it reads dressier. It is still a knit, not a structured blouse.

Wash cold and lay flat or tumble low to keep the ribbing from stretching. Skip high heat, which can shrink or distort the fit.

Yes, the buttons run the full front, so you can wear it closed or partly open over a base layer.
