pacseek does not seem to return all search results although I increased the maximum number of results

If you are using the search mode "StartsWith" there is a limitation from the API. It will only return a maximum of 100 results from the AUR.
You might want to switch the mode to "Contains" instead.

Can I start pacseek and immediately start searching?

Yes, you can just add your term as an argument starting pacseek. It'll fire off a search query.
Example: pacseek pacseek will start a search for "pacseek" 😉

What's this little box next to the search box?

It's little spinner animation that indicates when a search is running or package information is being fetched.

What is the basis for the search; What's it searching through?

All pacman sync DB's that are configured pacman.conf and the AUR (unless that has been disabled in the settings)
