Is the pixel output of a MacBook "stretched" by interpolation to fill the larger 5K screen of the LG 5K monitor ?

Please could Apple explain how using an external monitor with a MacBook pro laptop actually works ?
The 13" MacBook's GPU puts out a max pixel count of 2560 x 1600. The LG 5K monitor is displaying 5120 x 2880 pixels. Is the pixel output of a MacBook "stretched" by interpolation to fill the larger 5K screen of the monitor ?

In other words, if I had a digital photo that was originally 5120 x 2880 pixels, and used the MacBook pro and external monitor setup, would my photo be downsampled to 2560 x 1600, then interpolated back up to 5120 x 1600 ? i.e. every other pixel was replaced from the original photo ?

Thanks

Use for Windows Laptop (as well as MacBook Pro)

Can I use this an extended desktop for my Dell laptop with has USB-C (but not Thunderbolt)? And will I get the 5k resolution with this connection?

I would like to invest in this monitor for use with my personal Macbook Pro, but would also like to be able to use it (separately) with my work Dell Latitude Laptop for the rare days when I work from home (even if I can't utilise the full resolution when connected to my work laptop).

Can I daisy Chain my Apple Thunderbolt Display from this on my MBP using a USB-C to Thunderbolt converter?

I've recently built a PC and found that my Thunderbolt Display doesn't work with Thunderbolt PC Motherboards. Can my Thunderbolt Display be used by my wife on her recent MBP and 5K display? I"d like to add it to her desktop if I can't use it anymore.

Thanks

Can you connect wired headphones or external speakers to the monitor? It doesn't appear to have a 3.5mm jack connection anywhere.

I've bought a USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter, but I don't seem to be getting any output through the external speakers I've connected. Audio keeps coming out of the monitor only
