Is this jacket actually waterproof?

No. The shell is water-repellent and windproof, so it sheds light rain and snow. For steady rain, wear it under a waterproof shell.

Does it pack into its own pocket?

The jacket is lightweight and compresses small for a pack, but it is not described as stuffing into its own pocket. Plan on a stuff sack.

Warmer for the same weight. The down fill traps heat better than fleece, but it loses insulation when wet, which fleece does not.

It is cut as a roomy outer layer so it can go over a sweater. Owners who want a closer fit often size down.

Yes for dry cold and light snow. The water-repellent shell handles falling snow, but melting snow and rain will eventually soak the down.

A base layer and a light fleece cover most cold days. The roomy cut leaves space for a midlayer without feeling tight.
