Does it work for parents tracking a child's account?

If the parent has access to the account credentials, yes. Family-share specifics depend on Duolingo's plan structure.

Will it do my Duolingo lesson for me?

It can explain and prep — but speech practice and the streak still require doing the actual lesson in the Duolingo app.
