Dunno what it's called, but that's exactly the technique.
You're hitting harmonics as you very lightly slide your finger down the string while trilling or doing pull offs.. Just like playing an open string harmonic- that's the amount of pressure you're using.
Yep- counter clockwise reduces voltage/ increases the spatter/ Velcro sounds. Leaving it with the face on the knob aligned ‘normally’ is the default bias setting.
Agreed- a fuzz is really interactive with the guitar volume. Back it down to clean up the fuzz, and you'll fine a lot of 'shades' depending on where you run your volume.
I recently got into fuzzes- they are a different beast entirely, but super cool in the right contect. I don't like the 'wall of fuzz' but really dig it as an overdrive with some fur/ saturation goin' on into a moderately overdriven amp.
Make sure you don't have any buffered pedals in front of...
Check out Wolftone's P90s if you're considering a swap.
I've used the Meaner in two different guitars and it killed. Super responsive with a great grind at full volume.

This is my go to. I swapped the Dimarzio in the bridge for a Jalen Fair Warning and it just kills:
But I picked this up a few weeks ago and after a few upgrades (Faber Tone Lock bridge, studs, and aluminum tailpiece) it's coming on hard:
