It’s not really used by “a tool”, it’s a customary txt-format notation for guitar. People use it to learn/teach how an existing song is played, it’s not intended to actually notate music.
Yes, but it generally doesn’t, for example, record length, or rests, or dynamics… It’s not intended to fully describe a piece of music, it’s really more of a diagram of a series of notes, specific to a guitar layout, that instruct you on playing a melody you’re presumed to already know the sound of.

Using something to communicate how to play a song certainly sounds like a form of music notation to me.
