Can I change the brush colour and size?

Yes. With the freehand tool selected, the side panel lets you change the stroke colour, thickness and style, so you can switch between a fine line and a bold marker.

Yes. Undo and redo work as you would expect (Ctrl/Cmd + Z and Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + Z), so a stray line is one keystroke away from gone.

Does the drawing board work on a tablet or with a stylus?

Yes. The freehand tool responds to touch and to a stylus or pen display, so you can sketch naturally on a tablet, and a mouse or trackpad works fine on a laptop. Pinch to zoom and drag with two fingers to pan.

How do I save or download my drawing?

Open the menu and export to PNG for a normal image or SVG for a scalable one, or copy the drawing to your clipboard to paste it straight into a note, a chat or a document.
