Port forwarding GS308E Smart switch
If I wire my GS308E Switch stright into the back of my Netgear Nighthawk mesh router, and port forward ports on its IP, will everthing that I wire through it be port forwarded?

Anything that runs on your LAN and the ruter LAN IP subnetwork, certainly yes. However, port forwarding goes to LAN IP addresses of devices, computers, IoT, ... the switch does just the L2 transport.
