Default Tapioca Flour Question??

I was in a place today with the opportunity to buy a box of Ener-G
Tapioca flour for $1. I figured "why not?".

I see 1/2 cup contains 42gms carbs. Does this thicken foods , like
cornstarch or arrowroot ( which I cannot find)?. if it does, how is the
comparable carb count.

Another of my possible uses is dusting a veggie before lightly
sauteeing it ( I do this with zucchini circles). Does it work OK,
without a nasty taste??

I have no idea what to do with this, but thought it might indeed be an
addition to my low-carb recipes for the T2, pacreatitis, no-carb hubby!!

TIA
