Hello @arcadis, 

Welcome!

1. No. 
2. Correct, the old version of Kaspersky's software had Parental control, now it's called Kaspersky Safe Kids (KSK) & KSK does have Web activity monitoring. 

3. No, in the latest release of Kaspersky's new range - *only* Kaspersky Premium has KSK https://www.kaspersky.com/home-security
   If somehow he has old Parental control / OR KSK with Kaspersky Plus, both of those applications would need to be installed directly on *your* computer - then he becomes your parent, not your friend😨

   Spoiler

   

    

4. IF you've received a *shared* Plus subscription, you should have your own MyKaspersky account with your *own* email address & your own Premium Password Manager. 
5. As the *owner* of a *shared* Plus subscription - what he *can* do, read: Shared protection & Remote management of computer protection. 

• FYI - IF he runs a scan on (your) computer - see image  2 & 4; for *other issues* on (your) computer, on his MyKaspersky - he may get messages advising there's an issue with your *computer* however him selecting that message will notify him to fix the issue on the device, not remotely - make sure: Allow managing Kaspersky settings via remote control applications & Enable external management of system services - is as shown in the *second* image below
