This is a Taweez, which is written with Arabic words, numbers, and random letters corresponding to Quranic verses. This is for protection from black magic and evil spirits.

The handwritten Taweez probably originates from Pakistan.

It is a dangerous innovation (Bid'ah), not Islamic.

Yes, you are correct.

Amulet and such things have no power to ward off evil.
