That's my understanding of it, but I try to stay out of the legal system. Usually brought in for questioning, they go get their lawyer, they talk with their lawyer and spill the beans, the lawyer then decides if a deal should be made for immunity, if it's juicy enough, then the deal is made, they swear to an affidavit/confession and agree to testify in exchange for the immunity.
Exactly. Often times the unsealing occurs after the testimony is given. This just locks the witness into being unable to recant their statements later.
