“I have a Raspberry Pi 4 and would like to be able to use a SSD drive instead of the Micro SD card I am currently using. Will I be able to install the OS to this drive and boot from it as my main drive?”

Yes. With the correct adapters and RPi firmware updates, you will be able to boot from a USB-connected SSD. There is a guide on Tom's Hardware for how to accomplish this. Can't link here, so I advise doing a web search for "Pi 4 boot SSD" for the guide.

No. It's a stand alone solid state drive. A piece of hardware that you install in your DESKTOP or LAPTOP. It is a blank drive.
