Please do not consider the PineTab2 at this point any further, it hasn't even shipped yet and is in an very early software state, including buggy WiFi, lack of Bluetooth, lack of working cameras and probably a lot more issues.

My tablet doesn't need WiFi, Bluetooth, or working cameras. In fact, I consider that a plus. Because I want to use my tablet as just a screen that I can carry around. I don't want it to have any wireless connectivity capabilties, I don't want it to connect with the cloud, and I don't want it be spying on me.

Please answer my question, can I play videos, stored on the local filesystem, on this device, and be able to pause the video and jump to arbitrary locations? That's all I need.
Please tell me is this OS the same as regular Arch Linux? Can I install any applications that I want onto it? Can I use pacman installer? Alternatively, can I download the source code for VLC or MPV and build the application on the tablet itself?

I see on the original listing that the community price is $90 cheaper than the retail price. That is a lot of money for me.
It also says delivery Mid-May. What do you mean it hasn't even shipped yet? It is 5/14/2023.
