Question about Manhattan DisplayPort — USB Typ C

Does this cable work in both directions? I would need to use it to drive a USB-C display from the DisplayPort output of my computer. As far as I know, DisplayPort can transmit up to 100W of power, so the screen is also supplied with power via the cable.

The cable already works in "both directions". However, the decisive factor is whether your monitor allows video input via USB-C at all or whether this port was simply intended for data media or charging the smartphone.
I highly doubt that the power supply of the monitor works in this way.

The DisplayPort connector does not supply power. The 100W power transfer is a USB-C feature. At the same time, the DisplayPort protocol can be transmitted via USB-C.
To power your monitor via USB-C, it must be connected to a USB-C port on your computer that provides enough power.
