Never had that pepper before. But based on my experience yes. It will turn all red

A jalapeño is ripe when the green color starts to darken and the skin gets light cracking. No need to let it get red.

I would pick the one with the horizontal crack. It’s more than just corking. Where I live, those cracks turn gross and moldy. I store peppers in my fridge. If they’re partially red, then they will continue to redden. However, I would recommend using the cracked ones sooner rather than later or else you’ll open your fridge to a moldering pile of ooze.

Yes to both questions. It should continue to ripen off of the plant to its final color.
