Usually, in rush hours. The elevated road skips the at-grade merges at Bicutan and Sucat. The toll is higher than the at-grade SLEX for the same trip; compare both in the SLEX and Skyway toll matrix.
Skyway uses the Autosweep RFID system operated by SMC Tollways. If you have an Easytrip RFID, it will not work on Skyway. Autosweep is also used on SLEX, STAR Tollway and NAIAX.
Yes, Skyway connects to Skyway Stage 3 at the Buendia interchange. Skyway Stage 3 extends northward through Manila to Balintawak, connecting to NLEX. This creates a continuous elevated route from Alabang to NLEX.

Skyway (Stages 1 and 2) runs as an elevated expressway above or parallel to SLEX. Stage 1 is the elevated road from Buendia to Bicutan; Stage 2 continues it from Bicutan to Alabang over the at-grade SLEX.
The elevation provides a significant advantage, no traffic lights, no pedestrian crossings, and no merging with local traffic. The tradeoff is a higher toll compared to ground-level SLEX.
The NAIAX connection section near the airport handles variable traffic driven by flight schedules and Entertainment City (casino district) visitors. Evening traffic from 7-11 PM in this area is notably different from typical commuter patterns.
