Questions

Does it really keep the pitch, or does it just sound less chipmunky?

It keeps it. Pitch is the width of the waves, and the engine never changes that width; it only changes how many windows of audio land per second. A 440 Hz tone comes out at 440 Hz at every speed from 0.5× to 3×.

What is the difference between × and %?

× is playback speed: 2× is twice as fast. % is the resulting length relative to the original: 50 % is half as long, which is the same thing as 2×. 200 % is twice as long, which is 0.5×. Use whichever you think in.

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed one. The whole recording is decoded into memory, so very long files depend on your device: an hour of stereo audio takes roughly a gigabyte of RAM while it is being processed. Phones may struggle beyond that; laptops rarely do.
