No, you don't hook up power to the keywiz, power is supplied via the PS/2 connector.

Not a good idea! In all honesty, if you are using the 5v supply from the PC, it's pretty much the same one that's connected via the PS/2 port. So it shouldn't hurt anything....but it's not necessary to do that and I'd advise against it.
So no, it's considered an output, not an input, and yes, you are doing it just for fun :)
I would disconnect it to be on the safe side.
