yes, this is not the forum. there is a VMD mailing list. you should
post VMD questions there.

from the data you give it, e.g. the charge data in the .psf file.

no. the ionization state of your protein is not at all touched by this tool.
it only selects the number of positive or negative ions so that the _total_
system is (almost) neutral.
