Does this work with Zwift?

It says it's supported on the Zwift website. It doesn't support bluetooth so you'll need an ANT+ receiver.

How is this different from Garmin foot pod? Can it track distance for indoor run/walk like the foot pod does?

I don't think it captures/ estimates distance, the watch will do that now without the need for a foot pod. This doesn't doesnt capture data if you're walking.

Will this improve distance accuracy on my treadmill runs?

Unfortunately no. I bought this specifically for the treadmill since my Fenix 7 is grossly inaccurate for me on my treadmill (it isn’t the case for another family member with the same watch). Unfortunately even after changing the battery (the same day I unboxed it), it will often read 0.0 for speed, while at the same the cadence will have a reading that changes wildly (and inaccurately), and distance will remain unchanged for sometime .25 miles. Very disappointed. If I’m outside, GPS does a good job, so for me, this is kind of worthless because so far I only need it on my treadmill. Thinking of going back to Polar. Never had this issue with them.

Does this require a garmin watch, or can i just use it with the garmin app on my iphone (and no other garmin device)?

The dynamics pod syncs to several garmin watches (not all of them), but yes, you must use a garmin watch (https://runnerclick.com/garmin-running-dynamics-pod-review) DC Rainmaker has an outstanding review of the item as well.
