Is a purchase order a legally binding document?

It's generally treated as a formal offer to buy on the stated terms — whether it's binding depends on your vendor's own acceptance process and the terms you both agree to. It is not a tax invoice.

Should the GST amount here match my vendor's final invoice?

It's an estimate based on the rate you enter — treat it as a planning figure. The vendor's own invoice, not this PO, is the authoritative tax document for the transaction.
