Generally speaking, most VPNs used for business are a split tunnel, and aren’t forwarding all of your traffic, just the traffic relevant to your company resources that would otherwise be inaccessible unless you were on-site. So your internet traffic and regular browsing are still sent as if you had no VPN connection at all.

Routing is something you can control client-side. Well alt least you can configure that all traffic should be routed over the VPN. If your company provides an exit to the internet over VPN is another issue, but I suppose most do.

They can do that, but in my experience they do not, if only because it would be a vector for external attackers (who could control that machine via those connections routed directly to the Internet) to get into the company’s intranet without actually having to go through the company’s firewalls.
