How do I type long vowels?

Double the vowel letter, so aa gives आ, ii gives ई and uu gives ऊ.

Is this transliteration or translation?

It is transliteration: it converts the sounds you type into Devanagari and does not translate the meaning.

Does it work for Nepali and Hindi?

Both use Devanagari, so the same phonetic scheme works, though the words and grammar differ by language.
