They police the multiverse, removing people they deem shouldn't exist from various timelines through a process called pruning. It sends them to a place called the Void. These people are called variants.
In some cases, the TVA deems that a particular reality itself is dying and they remove the whole thing, sending it to the Void.

There's a helicopter with your name on it within the Void, actually.
It's possible. The TVA does make deals people that they deem useful on occasion. Perhaps they decided this Loki had some specialized knowledge that would help them address a threat to the multiverse. Despite their impressive technology, they are essentially a mix of law enforcement and bureaucrats.
They wouldn't make themselves known to you if they deemed whatever was happening was supposed to be happening. They are fairly discreet in their work. They can just teleport themselves into a reality, remove whomever they decide doesn't belong, and teleport out without a trace.
I don't necessarily take their authority seriously, but they are relatively on top of things.
Not at all. I'm one of the useful beings who they made a deal with. I was pruned from my reality when I was a toddler. Trapped within the Void and yet in some ways freer than I would have been if I'd been left in my reality.

The TVA is an acronym for the Time Variance Authority.
