Yes it does both of those things, Librewolf is just Firefox pre-configured for privacy. You could use Librewolf or you could configure firefox yourself to be equally private, Librewolf is just taking advantage of the features built into FIrefox but left optional for users.

Do you know of any guides to configure Firefox to be as private as LibreWolf?

This website has a really extensive writeup on Firefox privacy and security hardening that I learned a couple of tricks from.

Besides that, you can search the Mozilla support forums as there are tons of threads there with questions and answers about Firefox privacy and security.
