Why can this not run in my browser?

Slide layout depends on font metrics, embedded media and master-slide inheritance that only a real office engine resolves correctly. Approximating it in a browser produces slides that look wrong in ways you would not notice until they were printed.

Are speaker notes included?

No. The PDF contains the slides as an audience sees them.

What happens to animations and transitions?

They disappear — a PDF page cannot animate. Each slide becomes one page in its final state, which is what a handout needs anyway.

Can I include the speaker notes?

Not in this conversion; it produces the slides alone. For notes, export a notes-page PDF from PowerPoint itself.
