2) Do I need a signature?

Sim time, which is logged as Sim time, can be used to reduce the actual flight time required to meet certain aeronautical experience requirements.
That does not mean it IS flight time, and certainly does not mean it gets logged as flight time.

Level-D sim time can be counted towards total time. You'll be able to use 25 towards your ATP. All my sims from training were logged under multi, sim, total (as stated above)....but I needed them for the checkride.

Does sim time count for total time?

It can be "counted" for currency and aeronautical experience, and the FAA may even let you log it.
But I would recommend just keeping it in the sim column. Most employers will not go for sim logged as TT, ME, etc, or perhaps understand it, and it will make your logbook math hard for them to figure out. Some interviewers might consider that "aggressive logging", ie attempted fraud.
Log it in the sim column only, and you can add a note that it's level D or whatever. You do not need 1500 hours total time for an ATP, you need 1475 plus 25 hours sim.
The FARs also allow you to log sole manipulator TPIC as a regional FO, but that would not go over well at a major airline interview. Log conservatively, and follow customary practice for professional pilots.
