Original Scandinavian Early Vikings or all those labeled as Vikings from that study a few years ago?
Very un-informative because only macro-haplogroups are reported instead of going deep into subclades.
For comparison this study on Slavic Y-DNA goes deep into subclades which are 2750 years old or younger:

No, it's a mega-study with hundreds of samples from many Viking sites from different eras, which means that, as in samples from places associated with Rome, there are very diverse people, since in advanced times, Viking culture encompassed and assimilated many people who were not originally of the same ethnicity as those who started the Viking phenomenon.
The malicious interpretation of this fact makes many "non Scandinavian", believe themselves to be Vikings, something that you will see is true due to the possible reaction of several members of the forum, responding gracefully to what I say with various arguments and data from studies taken out of context.;)
I think the paper is this one:

Abstract
The maritime expansion of Scandinavian populations during the Viking Age (about ad 750–1050) was a far-flung transformation in world history1,2. Here we sequenced the genomes of 442 humans from archaeological sites across Europe and Greenland (to a median depth of about 1×) to understand the global influence of this expansion....
And their Ydna/mtdna and countries where the individuals were found is here:
