It has a separate seal button that you can use to seal the mylar bags with. But because mylar bags are smooth, the bags will pinch shut and the air won't get vacuumed out. To vacuum seal mylar bags, I insert the correct size oxygen absorber into the bag and then seal it with my sous vide's sealer or use a hand held iron. Give the bags about an hour or two and they will be vacuumed tight.

There are three buttons: vacuum and seal, seal and pulse vacuum. Don't know about Mylar.

Yes. There is a separate vacuum button that is used intermittently. Push it quickly several times until the desired amount of air is removed.

I'm not sure about the mylar bags, but it does have 1 button that will vacuum and seal and another button that will just seal.
