Does this completely stop the flow through the bottom drain?

No, the main drain isn't actually a drain in the sense that it drains the water out of your pool. Instead, it's an outlet that sucks water through a skimmer then through the filter, and back to the pool.

Does this Olympic drain cover replace the vortex ones that the pool cleaners always get stuck on?

No, we really need to know what your original was.

You might consider trying this Polaris UniCover which is designed to go over your current cover to prevent pool cleaners from getting stuck on drain covers.
