does it mute as well as the heavy metal mute?

Yes, this works amazing! This video of a girl playing with it on and off https://youtu.be/i8W5HT6AW60 helped me decide b/c you can totally hear the difference. They also compare how it sounds inside and outside a room w/ the door closed. Another benefit to this particular mute over the all metal one is that you don't have to worry about it damaging your violin if it happens to fall off, etc.

Esta sordina sirve para Violonchelo?

Esa sordina es para viola o violín. La de Chelo es más grande debido al grosor la madera del puente.

Can you loosen the screws so the mute will sit lower on a thicker bridge? You can adjust it to fit thicker bridges?

I don't think this mute is adjustable. But if you're thinking that it doesn't fit because you have a thicker bridge, that probably isn't the case. This mute just doesn't fit all the way over the bridge. It's normal for this mute to sit up high.

Can this be used for cello as well?

I don’t think so due to the size difference in the bridge. You may want to Google cello mutes to double check!
