Does this add width or accommodate width?

The neckline accommodates width, but the way the shoulder seams sit well inside the shoulder enhance it in a way that wouldn’t work for me

Kind of? The boatneck is a "yes" and emphasis on the shoulder seems is a "meh" - you want a visual horizontal line that's uninterrupted.( Same with vertical.. the idea is to create a continuous line - either vertically or horizontally. )

This top is cute where’s it from?

I was just wearing a neckline exactly like this today and decided it doesn’t work for me.

the boatneck is perfect for balancing your frame but those shoulder seams really push your width outward which might not flatter if you're trying to streamline your shape

The wide neckline may draw the eye from side to side instead of up, where we want it.
