arduino and labview programming

Please can someone more experienced confirm if I understand things right about labview programming of arduino boards?

The labview code uses serial communication with the board. The programme works only when the board is connected to PC using USB cable?

Is it possible to make a programme with labview, download it to Arduino board and then use it separately without PC and labview interface (as standalone device which will do something using outputs depending on the state of inputs)?

Thanks.

LabView's code can only be compiled to a dll or run-time executable. Communication with an Arduino board requires connection to a PC. There's more information on this topic here.
