Straight answers.

Does this make my clip legal?

No. Sideplay changes how your clip reaches your audience, not what you are allowed to use. Whether a few seconds of footage is fair use stays your judgment and your responsibility.

Who sees the overlay?

Viewers with the Sideplay extension installed. Everyone else sees your video exactly as you uploaded it.

Do I need to own the video?

Yes. Sideplay is for putting your clips on your own channel's videos. It is not a way to overlay anything on someone else's upload.

Stop cutting around the good part.

Add your video, pin your clips, and they're playing over your stream in minutes.
