Does it need to be screwed into the wall?

It mounts over an existing duplex wall plate and can be secured with the plate screw. It also holds in place by its plug, but screwing it down keeps it steady when plugs are pulled.

Can I use all 8 outlets and 4 USB ports at once?

The outlets share the circuit's full capacity, but the USB ports share one lower total output. Charging four phones together works; fast-charging a laptop from USB will be slow.

Does it protect against power surges?

It is a surge protector, but wall taps usually carry a lower joule rating than full-size strips. Check the rating on the unit before connecting a desktop or TV.

Will it fit a standard US outlet?

Yes, it is built for 125 V US duplex receptacles and covers both sockets. It will not fit a single rectangular outlet or a GFCI plate without an adapter.

Can it be used in a kitchen or bathroom?

It can, but keep it away from sinks and splashes. For wet locations a GFCI-protected outlet is the safer choice.

Our take on the Wall-mount Surge Protector 8 AC Outlets and 4 USB

This is a wall-tap surge protector that plugs straight into a duplex outlet and spreads 8 AC outlets and 4 USB ports across the wall, so it needs no floor space or cord. The sideways layout keeps plugs from blocking each other, which is the main reason people pick it over a plain power strip. It suits desks, kitchens and bedrooms where outlets are scarce and phones and laptops need charging. Against corded strips it gives up reach and total joule rating, so check the surge rating before trusting it with expensive gear.
