Yes, it allows you to send the logs anywhere. That said, it is limited: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/opentelemetry-dotnet-migrate?tabs=aspnetcore#other-telemetry-types

Yes. It's an alternative. It's useful for certain situations, such as if you want to aggregate your logs in a SIEM wherein there is functionality that is not available through App Insights, or you already have something built out there, such as logging from other cloud providers (AWS, GCP, what-have-you) and you want them all in one spot
Personal opinion time: Due to the current limitations of the OpenTelemetry logs, and also due to the pretty full featured App Insights tooling, I personally believe that App Insights is still the best place for application logging and analysis.
