Follow in what sense? Not necessarily in the same <table:detective>
container of one cell, it may occur in a <table:detective> container of
a different cell. The logical sequence is given by the <table:operation>
element's table:index attribute's value.

If applied to the same cell it would have that effect, yes. If applied
to a different cell that is somewhere in the highlighted chain, it would
remove the deepest level of traces in that cell's chain.

Correct. A <table:detective> container also has
a <table:highlighted-range> element that specifies which type of
highlighting is applied.

In OOo, actually arrows are displayed, connecting to/from cells,
a precedent cell area (range) additionally is highlighted by a blue
frame. Anyway, to my understanding applications may chose other means to
visualize dependencies.
