What exactly does JB + tune do?

Can someone explain what exactly the JB+ tune do?

And what changing the dial does.

Does it increase turbo boost? More fuel? I couldnt find details on what exactly it is the tune does. And whether or not I'm hurting my engine by using it

I would assume it acts as an intermediate boost controller. Most turbo setups would blow up their engine unless their boost pressure is properly limited. I see most of these turbo engine "piggyback" tunes acting as intermediate or replacement boost controllers, cranking up the allowable pressure the turbo outputs to increase power.
Not 100% on that though.

Actually it does increase the boost from ~16 (stock)to ~20 psi (according to Burger Motorsports).

nope, mine still had 16 with the burger tune. I used a torque app. If it had more boost it would make more hp in the top end and the tune doesn't make top end hp.
