Is this an ETL tool? If yes, how does it compare to existing tools in that space?

The focus is much more on people who are currently running existing, manual processes in spreadsheets (e.g. monthly reporting) and has much less of a database element. For example, we don't do any of the "loading" stage in a typical ETL process.

No we're not. At the moment we're focussing more on non-devs who already have the data in a csv. It looks like a cool project though.
