Excel first row labels should match the product fields naming convention provided by WordPress & WooCommerce. You may find sample of excel file in plugin settings page. Then you can just click automapping checkbox in the mapping screen.

You can always uncheck the automapping checkbox if you previously checked it - by default it is disabled

Correct, it works this way checking on the Label Name in your excel file. You can either remove columns you do not want to map or rename those unsuded columns to naming different than WordPress - WooCommerce naming convention.
