Good: that's what it is supposed to do.

Good: right again.

Only that you misunderstand how to use this.  You cannot type the 
equation into the text (Writer) document directly, as it needs to be 
defined as a Math equation.
o Enter "FN" and press F3.  You get the dummy numbered equation (E=mc^2).
o Now double-click the dummy equation.  The Math window opens at the 
foot of the window and you can edit the equation's definition - 
removing it entirely and replacing it with your own.

I trust this helps.
