It does. It develops your auditory memory for the piece.

There are a lot of ways of attempting to learn a piece.

First of all, in addition to just getting the notes right, you also need to work on fluency, evenness, dynamics and pedaling, and so on, which are easy to miss if you haven't developed a good ear.

You should know some basic music theory. For example, you should be able to spot scales, and simple chords and chord progressions.

Hands separate practice isn't that useful unless you are a complete beginner.

You should always start slower than the desired tempo and get the details right. However, you should go fast enough that you still retain the pulse.

Row by row or the whole page -- this depends on you and how easy the piece is. I would say that one of the best ways to go about it is to think in fragments, and divide the page up into phrases, observe call and response, etc.

I think listening to other people playing can be valuable, especially in the beginning, to get ideas about how you can play and interpret the music. When you start out, slow practise is important. Practise at a tempo where you can get everything right without struggling. It will help you learn it securely and play faster without mistakes later.
