Questions

Which link should I use?

The link from the form's Send button, on the link tab. It starts with forms.gle or ends with /viewform. Don't copy the address from your browser while editing the form, which ends with /edit; people who scan it are asked for permission instead of seeing the form.

Should I tick "Shorten URL"?

You can. The short forms.gle link makes a smaller code that's easier to scan, and it opens the same form.

Do people need a Google account to fill in my form?

Only if your form's settings ask for one, for example to limit people to one response. Check the settings under Responses.

Will the code keep working if I edit my form?

Yes. The link stays the same when you change the questions. The code stops working only if you delete the form or stop accepting responses.

Do you see my form?

No. Your codes are made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
