can this used to cut triple wall cardboard?

yes it will. i used mine to cut cement fiber board. they saved me alot of time.

Can you use this on panel style siding like hardiepanel?

Depends how thick hardie panel is assuming it is also fiber cement. The manual says max cutting depth is 8mm (5/16”).

Is this a "double shear" with two side blades and a center blade that cuts up and leaves a thin curly strip of excess?

YES, my Makita JS8000 is exactly as you described. A "double shear" cutting tool. With a two sided set of cutting blades and a center blade that produces a thin curly strip of excess. Your description is true and accurate of this tool.

Why is this a quarter of the price of all the other cement shears out there?

In my opinion, there is no reason because the quality of this tool is excellent.
