If this is plugged into a USB port on a smart phone does it also charge the phone while turned on?

No, If you could manage to hook a phone up to it, it'd draw power at a best case scenario.

You have to think it backwards - this unit GETS power through the USB port. So, it can't charge something because it doesn't have power to do so. The question could be "if this is connected to my phone's usb, will it provide power to the mixer to make it work?" - and even so, the answer would be no. But it needs power to be directed TO it via USB.

No. When it's time to recharge, you won't have any power left to turn it on. Just plug it in and it will automatically recharge. A little light comes on to show you it's charging.
