What type of worker, employment situation, occupation or professional activity is this pathway actually designed for?

The permit is for Hong Kong or Macao residents who are professionals planning to do professional work in Taiwan and who need an extended period of time to look for a job. It is a long-term job-seeking entry and exit permit.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

No employer relationship is described for the permit itself: the applicant submits a job-seeking plan, and one eligibility option is for recent graduates who are not yet employed. The official source does not state whether a job offer, employer or sponsor is needed.
