Yes. macOS puts every running app in the Dock, and no app can switch that off. What TinyFolder reclaims is the space taken by apps you are NOT running: they sit in one folder instead of a row of icons.
No. TinyFolder launches apps; it does not handle documents. If you need to drop a file onto an app, a plain macOS folder of aliases in the Dock does exactly that.
