Can I use it to thicken baby food without having to cook it??

It needs to be at least cooked in the food / warm liquid.

Is this good for thickening in pies?

Any starch will thicken pie filling including eggs. I tend to pick a starch that would be from something you might find in deserts such as tapioca. So in answer to your question yes this will thicken pie fillings but it obviously ha to be cooked or baked to thicken. I tend to cook the filling prior to baking it to make sure I get the desired consistency.

So is this good for making your own boba for boba tea? I've been wanting to make my own, but trying to make sure I grab the right stuff.

Yes! You might want to take a look at this recipe: https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/how-to-make-boba-pearls-at-home/#:~:text=Tapioca%20starch%20%2D%20is%20a%20gluten,should%20be%20cooked%20until%20boiling.

Good consistency

This tapioca starch is nice and uniformly powdery throughout. Some, although not supposed to be the pear kind, can clump up, which is super annoying when you're trying to thicken something without getting a gross lump of powder in your food. I really appreciate that.

Super fine!

Loved that the tapioca was fresh and milled super fine! I needed a good tapioca to make boba. Excellent choice and now I throw a handful in everything like , pot sticker skins, fried foods, mochi and bread. Perfect large amount to have on hand!
