A 2-way fridge will run of propane (with 12V power for control), or strictly off 120V when plugged in to shore power.
I'm unsure if the freezer portion will get cold enough to keep things frozen (like icecream), but it might. It looks like your fridge is a single door with a freezer tray at the top. I had a dorm fridge with a freezer flap and if I turned it down cold enough it would freeze stuff in there, and slush everything else that wasn't. My 2-door unit in my trailer keeps things frozen.
I will start my fridge at least 12hrs before I plan on loading it with food. The temperature is auto-controlled so I don't have to mess with that. There are many debates regarding traveling with the fridge on propane (some do, some don't, some say it is safe, some say it is not, some say no tunnels with it on, some say turn it off while at a gas station...). I travel with mine on propane, never stopped prior to approaching a gas station and shut the fridge off.
Stuff usually stays where I put it. Items will jiggle along the door tray if there isn't many items in there. I've never had food swap shelves or attempt escape when the door was opened.
