Yes, they are a known good monitor brand.
And I will gladly concede that this monitor is not nearly as good as a monitor that is 2x - 3x's the price. If money is no object I wouldn't purchase a lesser known name open box ultrawide.
That said ...
1. The difference between 120hz and 144hz is minor and generally imperceptible for most gamers and most games. Competitive FPS type situations for really good gamers there is likely to be a difference. But at that level you are talking about needing to finely tune every single aspect of the gaming experience (M/K, audio, etc).
2. I consider myself a gamer with a wide collection of games and types. I can report that personally, I have not seen any tearing or ghosting on my monitor. It has worked just fine. I'm pushing my 4070 Ti Super to it's limits with RDR2, Alan Wake 2, and other demanding games.
3. If you have the budget, absolutely spend more. This is a value buy. In my opinion, you can get 90% of the experience of monitors that cost 2x3's as much.

I hope someone who has it can reply soon.
It does have PiP and it looks like you can display multiple sources at once. That said, I tried it out when I first got it. it was a little tedious to change so I haven't used it since. If you are always going to keep the display split between sources it would probably be fine. But if you are doing that you would be better served by spending the money and getting a couple 32" or 27" monitors - one each dedicated to your different sources.

And this for productivity not gaming etc.

I was using 2 32" side by side before this purchase. I would have preferred to keep that set-up if I was going to always keep one input aligned with one machine and the other input aligned to the other machine.
My experience has been the exact opposite. 6 months in and not a single bad pixel. I don't see any ghosting while gaming (couple hours/day).
It may sound like I'm schilling for these guys and of course I have no idea what your experience will be. I just know that I am super happy that I rolled the dice on the ultrawide. I passed up similar deals for several months as I dithered about whether to pull the trigger. Ended up saving me about $300 from what I was about to spend on a G9 that I don't think would have been any better for my needs. Now if you are looking at the OLED Samsung or the 57" Neo that's a whole different story. I would fully expect both to be significant upgrades (at double or triple the price).

For 49" models they are all equivalent to 2x27" monitors placed side by side.
For 57" models they are all equivalent to 2x32" monitors placed side by side.
As a result, the PPI for the 49" model will mirror what the PPI is for a comparable 27" monitor. This particular monitor is a 2K (or 1440p) resolution. Whether you are looking at 1 27" monitor that is 1440p or 1 ultrawide that is 49" at 1440p the PPI will be the same at around 109.
There are some 49" ultras that are at 1080p. These would clock in at 82 PPI. If you found a 4K 49" ultra they would be 163 PPI.
For what it's worth, 2K seems to be the sweet spot for these monitors right now. It takes one heck of a graphics card to power 2 4K 27" (or 1 ultra 49" 4K) monitors at maxed out settings. 2K is still very demanding but a 4070 or higher should be able to handle most things at this resolution.
My post above hopefully explained the resolution problem. The easiest way to think about these is if you had two 27" 2K monitors side by side. That's all these are. You gain the benefit of one power cable, video cable, etc. You can still split your screen to have the same experience as side by side BUT you get the added benefit of no bezel between monitors if you want to stretch to just one big wide screen. Games like Red Dead Redemption 2 are really enhanced by expanding your field of view. And in my opinion, it looks way better than my previous set-up with 2 32" monitors side by side..
This isn't a top of the line monitor by any means. But it is a good $250-300 less than what the equivalent Samsung goes on sale for. I highly recommend it as a great starter ultrawide to see if you like it. The dirty secret that people won't tell you is that ultrawides are not for everyone. Plenty of people regret getting them. As a way to dip your toe in the water to see if he likes it or not I think it's a great buy.
My two cents.
