Per the documentation, if the value starts with a question mark it will replace any options that are advertised by the server, otherwise they are added to the options advertised by the server.

No, BrowseRemoteOptions only applies to printers discovered using the CUPS, LDAP, or SLP protocols. Hard-wired remote printers don't get affected, particularly not remote Windows print queues.
