Waste of $7.
It will have a noticable effect when added to straight water, coolant added cars with 160* thermostats and upgraded fans still won't see any difference.
It's not snake oil, because it does have a purpose under certain conditions, but you'd be better off buying $7 in lottery tickets.

Nope. use two bottles. Either in straight water for racing, or add to coolant. Helps keep temps down a bit.
Water wetter is more of a lubricant for 100% water coolant for racing, then really adding to coolant.
Remember you want your egines temp in the 190 to 210 range for optimal performance.
having a too low of a t-stat only turns on the fans sooner if your car stands for long periods of time,

I've used it for years with the regular coolant. One or two bottles depending on size of the cooling system. I usually just pour it into the overflow tank where it'll get circulated. It's a surfactant. That basically means it makes water slippery. It aids in removing steam pockets/air bubbles. It doesn't lower temperatures as much as stabilize them. I'm in AZ where the summers can be well into triple digits.
