- Correct, PAN ID is called network ID in the DTRLS application. PAN ID is a concept defined in IEEE802.15.4-2011, the underlying standard, but network ID makes more sense for the app.
- Yes, the tag can communicate with a PC or tablet in this mode over BLE, UART (USB) or SPI. In fact, since the app assumes a setup with 3+ anchors, it is the only way to properly use this setup. I suggest looking into the UART over USB interface first since it is fairly simple.
- You should be able to connect the tag to your computer using a micro USB cable, install the drivers for Segger CDC if they are not automatically installed by Windows / your OS, and use Tera Term / Putty / minicom / … with the correct settings to start communication with the tag. You can then press the enter key twice to start the shell mode and use the lec or les command to start printing the distances. See section 4.3 of the DWM1001 firmware user guide and section 6 of the firmware API guide.
