If I install a package from the AUR manually, will it be updated with an AUR helper?

You can compare the PKGBUILDs for differences, though AFAIK they’re about usually the same. But in such case, you would want to prefer using the one from the repositories.

The package is up-to-date in AUR. Why can’t i get that version?

Some AUR packages are also in Manjaro’s repositories. In such cases, the repositories will have precedence over AUR when you try to update them, thus preventing you from getting the latest version immediately.
