Will this pad keep a rug from sliding on hardwood?

The natural rubber grips hard floors and holds the rug in place. It is made for hard surfaces, not for laying over carpet.

Does the open weave really help with vacuuming?

Yes. Air passes through the open structure, so suction works through the rug instead of fighting a sealed pad underneath.

It is a low-profile pad, so it adds little height and fits under rugs in doorways. It gives support rather than deep cushioning.

The open-weave rubber can be cut with household scissors to match a rug's size. Trim it slightly smaller than the rug so edges stay tucked under.

Natural rubber is a common choice for hard floors, but check the floor maker's guidance for heated or freshly finished floors before use.

It can, but two grip layers are redundant. The pad is most useful under rugs that lack their own backing.
