Does this work solely using information either Google already has through their services or using other information on device at an OS level?

No, the Age Signal API does not require us to send anything in order to verify the age, its the play store that collects and verify age or consent information and sends it back to us.

Do we have to pass anything onto Google in terms of information?

No we do not need to pass anything to Google, its read only API.
