Will this be admissible in court of law ? I know docusign is. On what basis is it determined that particular signing tech is admissable

Varies by jurisdiction of course. Under American law and similar systems the admissibility of a type of evidence is established by it having been admitted before, and the initial admission is based on the judgement of some individual judge.

Is this targeted for the US market or also the EU? Does this qualify as a an advanced electronic signature (AdES) under the eIDAS regulation?

I don’t have any inside info here, but anecdotally, Google seems good at meeting regulatory requirements. I wouldn’t be surprised if it does meet this if it’s available in the EU.
