Does it really increase the heat threshold? Or is it broken, since Mechs now always shut down at 100% heat; unless you override, but don't you take damage above 100 anyway? What am I missing?

As the tooltip says It gives you an increase to the threshhold by 10% so as I understand it you can take 10% more heat before you overheat.
Its worded weirdly I know, but it essentially adds an extra 10% to your mechs overheat graphic <so in reality you actually overheat at 110%>
So to answer your question it is useful unlike some skills like Pinpoint which do absolutely nothing!

Your heat threshold is not 100%. Thats just the display of how much heat you can maximally hold and the heat you're currently holding.
Your heat threshold is computed as:
Heat Threshold = 30 + 1.0 * Single HS + 1.4 * Double HS + 2.0 * Engine Double HS.
Effective Heat Threshold = Heat Threshold * (1.1 if Heat containment skill * 2 if all basics doubled).
Your heat threshold is computed as:
Heat Threshold = 30 + 1.0 * Single HS + 1.4 * Double HS + 2.0 * Engine Double HS.
Effective Heat Threshold = Heat Threshold * (1.1 if Heat containment skill * 2 if all basics doubled).

Brilliant, thank you!

Fastfire and pinpoint do absolutely nothing, and the descriptions are lies placeholder.

Of course it is. Without it one can not unlock elites and elites double your basic skills.

Personally, I'd like to know why, when heat isn't calculated in percent, it's displayed in percent. This has been a source of confusion for new players who don't understand that a Medium Laser isn't supposed to generate 4% heat, it's supposed to generate 4 heat.
