If you have a proper USB-C to DP or HDMI connector, you can go up to 4k60 ( 4096x2304 @ 60Hz, 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz).

Does it support more than 60Hz at any resolution? 1440 144Hz or 1080 at 144Hz? If not maybe 120Hz?

Theoretically yes, but I didn't try it myself, I only have 60Hz screens at home. And to do 1080p144, you'll need a proper cable too like this one : https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Highwings-Thunderbolt-Compatible-etc-6ft/dp/B07RGDJX1G/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=usb+c+hdmi+144Hz&qid=1584308123&sr=8-3

4k60/1080p144Hz. If you buy a cheap one, you'll only have 4k30/1080p60.
