I struggle with comprehending, how weights are interpreted in the algorithm. Is the weight interpreted as a distance or opposite (similarity score)? Thanks in advance.

In Node2vec weights are used for calculating the transition probabilities between one node and another during the random walks.
The higher a weight is for one walk-candidate relatively to the other walk-candidates, the more probability the next step in the walk will be to that node.
