what is this used for? The description does not say.

It's a stiff, heavy plastic tape used to create a "zero clearance" insert for a miter saw blade. Simply apply to your miter saw insert, then with the saw running, bring the blade down and cut thru the tape . Your kerf is now the exact same size as your blade. Works really well. Makes for more accurate cuts. Look at the illustrations in the produce description.

Can this tape be used on a table saw for zero clearance?

Yes that’s what I used it for. You do have to cut out for the riving knife.

Is this true? Read a review about the tape catching the item sliding across his table saw. Can’t you simply adjust the height of the insert?

The zero clearance tape does have depth, about 2mm, therefore, in theory, it will stick up slightly, enough to catch a board. But in practice I haven’t had any trouble with that. Also, yes, you can adjust the table saw’s insert plate, slightly lower to compensate for the added height. Again, I found it unnecessary. And as an aside, the tape does work well. I have it on all my saws, table, sliding, miter and chop. I also have found other uses for the tape, it has a very strong adhesive and I have used it to shim non saw related items that needed a few mm of shim.

Does the same cut you make also work in the mitered angle positions? 15, 30, 45 degrees, etc.? Or do you have to lay down a new strip for each? thx

Yes it works in all positions. The adhesive is very strong and lasts a long time. I did all the baseboards in my house, cutting at different angles and the strip shows very little wear.
