Will this LED tube fit my T5 fitting?

Yes, if the fitting has G5 lampholders and is made for 1149 mm tubes. A T5 fitting always uses an electronic ballast and has no starter. That ballast must be taken out of the circuit: connect live and neutral to the lampholder at one end and fit the tube with its marked supply end there. LED tube installation guide

Which T5 fluorescent tube does it replace?

The 1149 mm, 28W T5 fluorescent tube. Together with its ballast it uses more than its rated wattage; the 18W LED tube needs no ballast, so you save up to around 40 percent.
