Does the stopper move up and down to plug the drain and then able to pull the plunger up to allow water to drain?

It moves to plug, but only if you turn it to fit in the drain slot. To let water flow, or unplug, you pull it out and turn it so it props perpendicular to the slot. If water flows heavily after that, it does sometimes turn to stop up again on it’s own.

what is the diameter of the plug?

The rubber is tapered. A course measurement with a tape measure shows 1 5/8 x 1/7/8.

Everytime water hits this strainer, it moves into the stopping positon. How do I prevent this?

This strainer is so light in weight that the swirling action of water going down the drain has the power to rotate the strainer and cause it to drop into the seal position. I simply tilt the strainer to prevent this. There is some loss of debris straining, but remains mostly effective.

How do you use it as just a strainer without stopping water?

If you look closely at the photo you will see that the pin sticking out of the bottom is rectangular, not round. In bottom of the drain fitting in your sink there is a slot. If the rectangular pin under the basket is aligned with the slot it sits further down and acts as a stopper. If you lift it slightly and turn it so the rectangular pin does not align with the slot it acts as a strainer. For fast draining lift it even further and tilt it slightly -- now water in the sink will drain quickly but it won't be fully strained.

Not very good

They are OK OK. Not comparable to the original ones. They have no mechanism to plug and unplug.

Gets the job done.

We have struggled to find a suitable replacement for the ones we had when we moved into our apartment after the rubber stopper crumbled from old age. We tried so many different things till we were told that ours took a special rectangular type. Low-behold I find a 2-pack for under $7 and figured why not? This ciuld solve all our problems and it did just that! The appearance was shiny and new and once placed in the sink, it fits well so it is very much compatible and the stability is spot on. The stopper is easy to clean with a simple wash off or soak. When it comes to the functionality, I'd say this stopper set is spot on. Functionally, it does exactly what it should do and the water retention is excellent. Finally, after over a year, we can do our dishes with more ease and they can actually get some soak time in before the water drains out!
