Can this plugin show my old comments?

yes, the plugin uses the same comment database as wordpress.

Do all the query vars have to be exact?

no, only the one query var you put in the shortcode needs to match.
If you do not put a query, than the query vars will be ignored, and it will run like regular wordpress comments would per post.

can users add bold/italic text and embed images?

users can add custom tags that the plugin reads to make text bold and add images and urls.
as an admin, you can disable image and url embeds in the plugin settings.
the user adds tags like “[b][/b]”, and the plugin replaces it with “” only if it is on the front end.
the tags get stored as “[b][/b]” to prevent html from running on the backend.

added character maximum to comments

1.3

added wordpress thanslate to comments

1.2

comments now auto-unapprove if they contain html tags
you can still see the users IP and the sanitized(html removed) comment in the backend
if you see a lot of “&” signs followed by letters, numbers, and “;”, that could be blocked html tags(ex: <a href="/">Test</a>).
Note: if you see a small amount of blocked html & signs(ex: <), it could be a false positive
