Shield / Tablet(s) game streaming my steam lib

Greetings friends!

I'm looking in to getting a Shield Tablet because i'd like to be eligable to play some pc games but not have to sit at the computer while doing so.
But i saw a video of someone connecting to nvidia grid with their tablet and there were only a very select ammount of games on there.

Can't i play all the games on my steal library like Civilization, The Wolf Among Us or Faster Than Light?

Do i have a way of right and left clicking on my tablet? can i even connect it to my pc directly?

Can i connect a keyboard and mouse to my Shield Tablet? and is it only via bluetooth then?



I live in Sweden and i heard that only us costumers had acces to the grid, 
So i cant stream from my pc to the tablet at all? 

I'm so confused about all of these features that are supposed to come with this tablet.



Edit: I've seen videos of people connecting other tablets to their pc somehow (Teamviewer?)
Doesnt this create alot of delay between inputs? in the videos it seems to be fairly low latency problems

Steam in home streaming will stream pretty much everything from your PC to your tablet over local wifi network

 

Grid streams games from the cloud so you can play games anywhere you are, currently on available in the US in beta

 

You can use an OTG cable to connect a keyboard and mouse

OTG cable...hm, could i get one as a Y splitter for mouse and keyboard for the tablet?

Shouldnt that make me eligable to litterally play fps games with keyboard and mouse on my tablet?

So i log in to Steam on my Shield tablet, connect it to my pc and go?

I believe you use GeForce Experience on the PC to connect to the Shield.

What do i have acces to then?

Everything my pc can do?

Does the pen have a right and left click so i can use it as a mouse?

So i dont connect it to Steams in home Streaming?

So i can choose between  GeForce Experience and controll my pc completley 

or just use Steam in home streaming and play steam games only?

I'm only looking to the the tablet.

The pen is only works for tablet functionality, like drawing and writing

 

You have access to your stream library, on the tablet you basically have access to steam big picture mode and can launch and play any game available on steam

 

You have to have geforce experiance installed for it to work

 

If you want to directly control your PC you will need teamviewer or similar but this is not suitable for gaming due to latency and resolution
