Can you ink on it without it warping (same for copic markers and water colors, too)?

You absolutely can ink on Bristol (Smooth & Vellum) without it soaking through or warping. I've even used acrylic paints on this paper. Even though it tended to buckle somewhat while wet, this paper will flatten back out when completely dry. I'm confident that if this paper can handle acrylic paints, it can also handle watercolors, gouache, and copic markers. No, I didn't stretch or size this paper before using acrylic paints on it.

are you supposed to draw on it like the way it's showed on the pic? Because it looks sideways?

No it has a layout in no photo blue. It is a comic pro setup so it's twice the size of s comic book with proper lines on each page. It can be sideways but it is an up and down setup like true comic Bristol. So you can use it either way. Also if you like you can use the black back if you are not looking to draw comics
