Does my IP show my name and home address?

Not by itself. IP lookup shows approximate location and ISP from databases. Your name and exact address are not embedded in the IP number. Law enforcement can request subscriber records from ISPs with proper legal process, which is different from a public IP checker.

What do websites learn from my IP?

They can infer country, often metro area, ISP or hosting provider, and whether the IP looks residential, mobile, or datacenter. They use this for fraud checks, localization, and rate limits.
