Are the teams balanced?

Yes. Names are shuffled and shared out evenly, so team sizes differ by at most one.

No. Teams are generated locally in your browser.

Can it account for skill levels?

No. It balances only the number of names. For skill-balanced teams, arrange or seed participants manually after generation.
