It's mostly the upper jaw that stops growing or is forced to stop. The braces and how tight they are cause the muscles around the jaw to grow slower and be weaker. Then the lower jaw continues to grow. Some people buy braces not for their teeth but to fix an overbite.

The chin and jaw tend to stop growing/change at around 18-21 just like height really. That's when most things stop growing for us. Hope this helps

Yes, your jaw will still grow. It just won't be what it would've been if you didn't get the braces.
