New homeowner here. Questions about my HVAC

My wife and I just bought a house (first one). And I'm trying to understand our HVAC system. The house has a 2-stage Ruud system (2010) with a Protech whole house humidifier/dehumidifier and a Honeywell VisionPro IAQ (thermostat not pictured). We had a technician out not long ago and he said it's a pretty nice system.

Forgive my newbie questions, but I've never used a system like this. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can shed some light on the following (assuming you can with the info I provided).

1: Am I stuck with my existing Honeywell thermostat? Not the VisionPro IAQ necessarily, but the wall mounted control. It would be nice to be able to update it.

2: Is this a humidifier or dehumidifier? What are the ideal settings to set it to (I live in the Midwest)? How often do I change the filter?

3: Any other sort of things I should do/not do to help further the longevity of the system?
