Will the local homebrew folder automatically be valid and used by homebrew? What of /usr/local?

Yes, the local homebrew directory is created, and the Homebrew tarball is placed in it, which makes the magic happen. Some casks may not work 100% if they try to place binaries in /usr/local/bin. Those will instead be placed in ~/homebrew/bin, from where they can be symlinked.

Why not use /usr/local in the first place? It's the place where locally installed software should go?

That way we can avoid changing ownership of the folder to $USER.
