Yes. It works either activated for all sites (network wide) or activated in each single site. It changes only the posts of the site where you use it.
No. The featured images you have already set will remain set if you deactivate or delete the plugin.

It does not matter where the images are stored on your server. They can be in any folder. But they have to be uploaded via WordPress’ own media uploader to be found by this plugin. If this is the case the plugin will work fine.
