Do you have connect the two points directly or can the cable go through switches?

It's not actually Ethernet, rather, it's a specific protocol for this purpose so it can't go through a switch. However, you should be able to simply patch the cables together and bypass the switch.

Does this need 1 continuous ethernet cable? i have my house wired with ethernet and i connected a cable to the wall with the unit and the other end

Yes, 1 single continuous cable is required. This is specified in the product description: "Long distance - Connect single Cat6 cables up to 196ft instead of HDMI cable between TX and RX Extender" There cannot be any network switches in the path. This is not an IP-based solution that can be used over a network. if you want something that can run over a network, i.e. routed through switches, look at Dante AV products that are designed to transmit video over IP networks, just be prepared to pay a few thousand dollars.

Can you use a USB cable to power the receiver unit?

It doesnt have direct support for usb power, but it doesn't draw a lot of power and 2 amp usb power should be plenty

Can a hdmi splitter like the orei 4k 1x4 hdmi splitter duplicater be used at the display end of the extender for connecting multiple tv's?

I haven't done so myself because I used the transmitter(input) unit on only one of the outputs from a 1-4 hdmi splitter because I only had one tv located at an extreme distance. It would probably work, with your connection, as the transmitter/receiver units are both powered and I notice the signal from the receiver (output) unit appears strong.
