Is this bidirectional at all?

No. It takes the signal from the Mac and distributes to an extra monitor. Only one port can be used at a time also.

will this work for the surface 3 and windows 8.1?

I bought for my Mac and it works. I am sorry I don't have the answer for Windows OS

Will this connect 2 laptops so second laptop can be used as a second screen?

I wouldn’t think so, as display ports on a laptop are outputs, but never tried.

does this work for Surface 3 running windows 8.1

Yes. Anything on the screen is transferred via cable.
