What does a text document contribute to a spreadsheet?

Its tables - each one in the ODT becomes a block of cells in the worksheet. Surrounding prose either lands as text rows or is best deleted after conversion, depending on what you are extracting.

Should the target be XLS or ODS for LibreOffice users?

Neither is automatic: ODS is Calc's native format and the better home if the data stays in LibreOffice, while XLS exists for old Excel-based consumers. This conversion targets the latter - pick it when a legacy Microsoft environment is downstream.

Do Writer table formulas transfer?

Writer tables can hold simple formulas, but only their current results move across - the worksheet receives values. Rebuild live calculations in the spreadsheet; it is the stronger tool for them anyway.
