Questions

Are numeric looking cells converted into numbers?

No. Every cell remains a string. Decide any later numeric conversion explicitly in your application.

What should I check before using CSV to JSON?

Check CSV input and Input separator. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
