1. The answer is no. You do not qualify for a BOWP at this time. You will only qualify for a BOWP once you have been selected out of the Express Entry pool (received ITA) and have submitted your complete application.
2. See above. You don't qualify at this time.

You can’t apply BOWP until you get an ITA or Invitation to Apply, just being accepted in the pool doesn’t make you eligible

But as per https://www.dalelessmann.com/news/blog/bridging-open-work-permit-applications-can-be-submitted-faster
Following the submission of the e-APR, IRCC will automatically generate an initial Acknowledgement of Receipt letter which simply confirms that the application has been received, and a file number created. It is no longer required that applicants wait until they receive a second Acknowledgement of Receipt letter from IRCC, which confirmed that a determination with regards to an R10 completeness check had been made.

What is R10 completeness check?

You haven't received the initial Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) letter and you haven't submitted your application. All you've done is entered the Express Entry pool. Again, you won't be able to submit yoru application and receive AOR until after you have received ITA (meaning you have enough points to be selected out of the pool and apply for PR). You do not qualify for a BOWP at this time.

I didn't read the website you provided - however it isn't an official government web site so it may have bad information or unclear information.

e-APR is the submission of an actual PR app. You haven't submitted a PR app. As said above, you have simply entered the pool. Note that you need a CRS of around 470+ to get an ITA right now.
