External TTL Flash / HSS / Optical Slave on the Canon Rebel SL1 ?

Hi Guys.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S89H41I/ref=twister_B0126Y045I?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I have considered to buy this flash for my SL1 but i have some questions.

Is my SL1 compatible ?
Will my SL1 support High speed sync ?
Can i use this flash in Manual mode as an optical slave with the pop-up flash of my camera (The pop up flash is TTL but my way of avoiding the pre-flash is half pressing the shutter, then popping the flash up, then fully press the shutter.) ?

Basically, is it a viable option to acquire such a flash for my SL1 ?

Thank you guys !
