What happens to words starting with a vowel?

They get 'way' added to the end: apple becomes appleway.

Is the decode always exact?

Not always. Pig Latin loses information, so some words decode to a close approximation.

Does capitalization survive?

Yes — the first letter's capitalization is preserved after the consonant cluster moves.

About Pig Latin Translator

Pig Latin is a word game, not a real language: words starting with a vowel get 'way' appended (apple → appleway), and words starting with consonants move the cluster to the end plus 'ay' (hello → ellohay).

Decoding is best-effort because the transformation is lossy — 'ay' endings and moved clusters can't always be undone unambiguously.
