Will a dock charge my laptop?

Powered docks pass through charging over USB-C. Check the dock's power-delivery wattage against your laptop's charger.

Can I run two monitors?

That depends on your laptop's display support as much as the dock's ports; some laptops are limited to one external screen over USB-C.

Does it work with a MacBook?

Yes, USB-C and Thunderbolt docks work with MacBooks, subject to the same external-display limits macOS imposes.

USB-C Laptop Docking Station – One-Cable Hub for Monitors, Ethernet and Power

A docking station turns a laptop into a desktop with one connection. Monitors, wired ethernet, keyboard, mouse, external drives and mains power all stay plugged into the dock, and the laptop joins them with a single USB-C cable when you sit down.

It is the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade for a hybrid working setup. The two things to check before buying are how many external displays your laptop can actually drive — this is a limitation of the laptop, not the dock — and whether the dock supplies enough power to charge it while you work.
