Showing how to:

download and install a game from the Microsoft Store
create a link to the game in Windows Explorer
use the link in a RightBooth 'Run program' action so that the game can then be played by clicking a button that has been added onto a RightBooth event screen

Store apps will appear either full screen or in a window. The user can choose to maximise or run in a window. The apps remember their window size and they will be shown at the same size the next time they run.
The apps are always run in a separate window from the RightBooth event window and they appear on top of the RightBooth event window.
It is not possible to add Exit or Back buttons over the top of the apps

No. Windows Store Apps are not HTML5 games.

The JPG preview can be done by running the game then taking a screenshot of the game and pasting it into MS Paint. Then use Paint to save a JPG thumbnail image of the game and paste it into a RightBooth event screen. This technique is demonstrated in the following video:
