My Sonoff plug in HA shows state updates from Zigbee2MQTT, but toggling it in HA doesn't actually control the device. Control works fine from the Z2M dashboard itself and MQTT integration, but anything other than that doesn nothing (my terminology might be wrong)

What do you mean by "works fine from the MQTT integration"?

And where does it not work?

If you can toggle it on the device page in HA, the whole HA integration is just completely fine 🙂

And what you show in your last image is not suppose to change the state. That's the tool to change a state in HA for testing without performing any action. Basically to fake a state in HA for testing.

As for the card, even though it has "simple" in the name, it's not a building nor basic card. And scrolling through the documentation is not meant to work with a switch but with a timer entity.

As fot the automation, what is the idea behind all variables?

Bottom line, if you're new to HA I would suggest to start of simpler. Don't over complicate stuff. And if you're more experienced, you'll have to read more documentation and/or stay away from badly documented stuff. At least there is nothing wrong with the integration of the switch into HA 🙂
