if i remeber correctly, it just slings most of fast moving things around (roughly equally in all direction), and only slow moving things actually hit it.

slung out of the system.

that seems a bit too strong for jupiter, that seems more like suns behaviour

Jupiter's pull is so great, compared to earth, that the ones that do get past or then pulled more towards the sun.

this seems correct.

but i have not actually done any courses on celestial mechanics, and mostly basing on yt videos that i watch, so you maybe are correct on this one.
