Are my APK files uploaded?

No. Files you open from your device stay on your device and are read locally. Only the public sample package is requested from the server.

Can it decode AndroidManifest.xml?

The viewer lists the archive contents for inspection. The AndroidManifest.xml inside an APK is stored in a compiled binary format; the viewer shows its presence but may not display it as readable XML.
