A wireless charger charges a phone laid on it, stood in it or clicked onto it, with no cable in the phone. A coil in the charger makes a magnetic field and a coil in the phone turns it back into power. It is slower than a good cable, but it is easy, it saves wear on the charging port, and it suits the bedside, the desk and the car. It only works on a phone with wireless charging built in: every iPhone from the iPhone 8 on, the Galaxy S series and the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip, and most Pixels since the Pixel 3, though several of the cheaper "a" models leave it out. Samsung says its Galaxy A and XCover phones do not charge wirelessly.
First, that your phone charges wirelessly: the maker's specification will say "wireless charging" or "Qi". Qi is the shared standard, so a Qi phone charges on a Qi charger from any maker. Qi2 adds a ring of magnets that pulls the phone's coil into the right place. The magnets carry no power; they only line the coils up, because a phone off-centre charges slowly and turns the lost energy into heat.
Second, the speed. It is set by the phone, the charger and the plug behind it, whichever is lowest. Apple says many Qi chargers charge an iPhone at up to 7.5 watts. Several chargers here ask for a fast plug behind them, so read the listing and use a wall charger with a UK three-pin plug that matches it.
Most cases can stay on. A thick tough case puts the coils further apart, metal plates and rings stop or weaken charging, and a card wallet on the back should come off: Apple and Samsung both warn that a charger's field can damage bank cards, travel passes and key fobs.
On a certified charger in a sensible place, yes: the phone controls the charge. Keep the charger off the bed, away from heat and out of direct sun. The guide to wireless and magnetic charging explains more.
