is it durable enough to add grommets and still be used regularly

Although I would not use grommets, The Mylar of this product is thicker and so it will last longer. It is durable, however it is still Mylar, once torn, it will tear all the way. I would use the 3M tape with the string strands to create a place to add grommets, either a folded tab that only holds the grommet and the Mylar is sandwiched in the tape, or sandwich the Mylar and add the grommets similar to the paper reinforcements. This is a good product, I added it under my hammock and it's helped keep the chill off and kept me warm, been using this one pretty close to the 9th or 10th time now.

How does this compare to a heavy weight miltiary casualty blanket?

similar, some casualty blankets may not have grommets. The SOL has grommets to use as a shelter.

For people who have actually taken this blanket out at least once: How do you fold it so you can re-pack it back into the bag?

Ha! I've used mine three times and gave up after the first attempt. The packaging is just that, for the sale. Fold it the best you can and get a nylon pencil pouch from Wally-World for $1 and put it in that and call it good.

is this as waterproof as a normal tarp?

This product is 100% wind and waterproof to shield you from the elemets. It can be used as an emergency blanket, ground cloth, gear cover, emergency shelter or whatever suits your needs
