Is this "22 pound payload capacity" including the Counterweights? Can I use about of 18 pound of gear for astrophoto in the full mode?

The mount has 22 lbs. of payload capacity once the weights are on. Yes, it can handle 18 lbs. of gear but you will be getting close to the mount's final recommend payload.

What latitude range does it support?

From 15° you don't need a pier extension, below that latitude you need pier extension otherwise the counterweight would hit one of the tripod legs.

can i use celestron starsense autoalign with this?

Nope, that is for Celestron mounts
