@testingsoftware

If that user likes my post I won’t get notification either

Yes

@testingsoftware

Will I still see posts from this Muted user?

Yes, you will not receive notifications but the posts will be visible

Will this user be able to send me Private Messages?

Nope, if a muted user try to send you a message he/she will see this warning
