Do people understand this is a pack of gauze for wound dressing/packing and not an Israeli bandage?

Most probably don’t. Yes this is not a pressure dressing. It’s a zfold gauze for packing wounds. It’s good to have packing materials for junction wounds in addition to pressure bandages and hemostatic agent impregnated dressings. These are thin and easy to throw a few in with a blowout kit because it always seems like there’s never enough when you NEED to pack a wound.

I have yet to pull one from it's package, but these are the small ones. no pressure clip, basically just a small sterile dressing meant to wrap around a limb.

Will this fit in a ww2 pouch?

That's a hard question to answer. There might be a thousand different pouches that were used in WW2. The best I can do is to say it's bigger than a Garand en bloc clips with ammo in it, so it's not fitting in most ammo pouches.

This dressing is made in Israel and is high quality. They are nothing fancy, but for the price, they are well worth it if the wound is more than an improvised dressing can handle. I carry two+ in my Aid Kit. I'm going to order another 6 next time, just to put-back. I feel safe advising you to purchase several. And I am usually loath to give advice.
